DISASTERS ARE STATE-SPONSORED CRIMES! DISASTERS ARE STATE-ALLOWED VIOLENCE AGAINST VULNERABLE SECTORS.

Ang matinding hagupit ng kalikasan ay hindi lamang likas na trahedya; ito ay malagim na ganti sa krimen ng kapabayaan at sa walang-sawang pagkagahaman ng mga nasa kapangyarihan at ng sistemang kapitalista.

Dahil sa kanilang pikit-matang katiwalian at pagpapaubaya sa mapaminsalang pagmimina, logging, at land conversion, hindi ginampanan ng gubyerno ang kanyang State Responsibility na protektahan ang mamamayan at ang kalikasan.

Ang bigat ng krisis ay laging bumabagsak sa mga pinakabulnerableng sektor, lalo na sa ating mga kababaihan, na bukod sa kapahamakan ay lantad pa sa karahasan at pang-aabuso.

Ang bawat disaster ay hindi aksidente—ito ay gawa ng mga lumabag sa batas. Ito ay pananagutan ng Estado. Kaya't ang gobyerno at ang mga gahaman sa salapi at posisyon ang dapat managot, singilin, at kasuhan sa ilalim ng batas para sa bawat buhay na nawala, bawat kapahamakang dinanas, bawat kabuhayang winasak, at sa pagkabigong tuparin ang kanilang tungkulin na pangalagaan ang buhay at karapatan ng mamamayan.

SINGILIN! PAGBAYARIN!





Series 9

Disasters and Violence Against Women.

During disasters and calamities, women often face heightened risks of violence and abuse. The loss of homes, livelihood, and security can lead to overcrowded shelters and unsafe conditions where women and girls become more vulnerable to sexual harassment, exploitation, and domestic violence. In times of crisis, protection and gender-sensitive response must be prioritized—ensuring that relief, recovery, and rebuilding efforts uphold women’s rights and dignity. 🌸💪 Stop violence against women, even in times of disaster.

Series 8

Today in 2023...
Assert consistently fought for medical and health provisions, unloading teachers of too much workload, and correcting teachers' salary grades. Then and now, Assert demands the funding of the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers and its full implementation.

Teachers press for health benefits beyond DepEd's 'gift' of accident insurance Following the Department of Education's provision of an accident insurance for all teachers, two teachers' groups have also called on the department to deliver the promised health benefits under the Magna Carta for public school teachers.

For many women, the home is not a refuge but a battleground. Control, fear, and abuse thrive behind closed doors. Ending domestic violence means empowering women to speak, act, and rebuild their lives free from fear.




Series 3

Remembering Women Victims of Violence

We honor the lives of women who were killed, disappeared, or silenced by abuse or injustice. Their stories are not just tragedies—they are calls to action. We light candles not only for remembrance but for resistance. Never again. Never forget.





Series2

Ang karahasan ay hindi lang nasusukat sa sugat o pasa.
Ito ay nakikita sa paghihirap sa hapag, sa kakulangan sa serbisyong panlipunan, sa korupsiyon na kumikitil ng pag-asa.

Araw-araw, may babaeng dumaranas ng karahasan -- sa tahanan, sa lansangan, sa lugar-paggawa, sa eskwelahan, sa lugar-sambahan, sa mga lugar na sentro ng kapangyarihan.

Ngayong buwan ng Nobyembre, itatampok ng Kaisa Ka ang 2025: Laban sa Lahat ng Anyo ng Karahasan sa Kababaihan at sa Bayan.

In response to collective appeals, the Department of Education (DepEd) has officially announced a mid-school year break for all teachers and learners from October 27 to 30, 2025. This crucial pause is a win for the entire education community, allowing everyone time to recover and recharge. This positive outcome follows the formal request made by ASSERT, advocating for the well-being of our educational frontliners and students. A great step towards prioritizing mental and physical health in our schools!
