Avril: One Must'nt Step On The Other

Women are vulnerable, but is it necessary for one to step on the other? Think about it. The Philippines love their women, though, why are there still malicious acts? "Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995", also known as Republic Act No. 7877 speaks about the sexual harassment that most are experiencing, especially women. The act is mostly committed by workers such as managers, employers and their employees, teachers, and anyone else who has an authority over another person. The act itself involves the doer to demand, persuade, or request sexual favors, despite the victim resisting, the demand would still be continued.

Are men more valuable that women? Are men more superior than women? Other than getting laid and giving birth to the expected children from a man, what else are females good for? Rape is a worldwide problem. So, I would like to present a certain Republic Act, which is RA 8353, further known as the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, made by the congress of the Philippines. It simply pinpoints the violation of women when it comes to rape, as their well-being, dignity, purity and virginity have been sacrificed for no reason, other than pure list. It expands the definition of the crime of rape and reclassifies it as a crime against people. Rape isn't regular, there are also two ways of committing it. One is by force or threat, and by grave abuse if authority or fraudulent machination.

Despite these implemented laws and republic acts by The Philippines implemented by its senate and congress, these types of crimes are still rampant. Such republic acts are useless, when the main problem is from the people within a certain community, within a certain country. Think about it, walking through fields of poppies will always be calming rather than walking through fields of women's bodies. Bring us closer to the unknown, we'll live forever, the tyrant's overthrown. Revolution will be our only solution, since evolution led us to prostitution.
