A crowd of Filipinos shout slogans and hold placards to show their support for the Reproductive Health Law (RH Law) at a street in Manila yesterday. Thousands including pregnant and pregnant-looking women urged the Philippine Supreme Court to ‘Bring justice to women’ by declaring the RH law constitutional. Around 1,000 Filipino women give birth every day despite their desire to stop childbearing, according to data from the National Statistics Office (NSO) and the UN Population Division, The NSO also states that for every 100,000 live births, 221 women die, a figure very far from the target of 53 to meet the country’s commitment to the Millennium Development Goal in 2015.
