This is URGENT. I stand with UNICEF as they call on the Philippine Congress to IMMEDIATELY pass a law that increases the age of statutory rape to at least 16. Data from DSWD has shown that most victims of rape and child incest are between the age of 14 to below 18.
In the Philippines, adults can have sex with children as young as 12 years old and claim it was consensual.
We're calling on the Philippine Congress to immediately pass a law that increases the age to determine statutory rape. #ENDChildRape
