HINDI lamang mga looter ang dapat bantayan ng otoridad sa mga lugar na nasalanta ng super typhoon Yolanda.
Nanawagan kahapon si Senador Nancy Binay sa Armed Forces at National Police na magpadala ng karagdagang tauhan sa gitna ng ulat na ilang kababaihan sa mga binagyong lugar sa Eastern Visayas ang pinagsamantalahan ng kanilang mga kapwa biktima.
“I have received reports of rape and other crimes committed against women, girls and children in the areas affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda.
This is very alarming and I express my grave concern over the apparent breakdown of moral values and civic order,” ani Binay sa isang kalatas.
“Aside from ensuring that survivors of the disaster would get basic necessities such as food and shelter, the national government should also safeguard the rights of women, girls and children.”
“We know from previous experience here in the country and around the world that in times of disasters, women, girls and children are among the vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
We need to ensure that the vulnerable are safeguarded and taken care of,” dagdag pa niya.
