Anna Basman, lawyer and Member of Parliament of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, describes how Marawi women suffered gender-based violence (GBV) in the shelters after the 2017 5-month siege and how the situation has improved. MP Basman believes that much more needs to be done to empower women, not just to protect them from violence. Atty. Arbee Arquiza shares initiatives of the Commission on Human Rights to eliminate GBV.
