THE Commission on Human Rights on Tuesday said it has discussed rehabilitation and reintegration initiatives for women deprived of liberty before women-judges from Asia-Pacific.
Dumarpa tackled the current conditions of Philippine prisons and how it affected the situation of women deprived of liberty during her talk titled “Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration of Women Prisoners and Offenders, and Alternatives to Imprisonment for Women Offenders.” “While efforts are being undertaken to address congestion and human rights issues of women deprived of liberty, the facts indicate that many detainees, most especially women detainees, are currently living in conditions below international human rights standards,” Dumarpa said.
She said there must be a monitoring body to monitor the treatment and rights of women in detention, and the need to review and repeal policies which disproportionately target or criminalize the actions of women.
