“No cause is more worthy than the cause of human rights… they are what makes a man human. Deny them and you deny man’s humanity.” Wide words spoken by Jose W. Diokno, Father of Human Rights in the Philippines. We at Lifeline Foundation wholeheartedly agree. Due to the events in the recent past we have come to realize how important it is to respect our rights as human beings, and even to defend these rights, whenever necessary. As in all things, it starts with education.
Lifeline Foundation Support Team, Inc held a Basic Primer on Human Rights on Wednesday, 22 February 2012 at the Lifeline Foundation office on 86 Aguirre Ave, BF Paranaque. BF Barangay workers, mothers, students, artists, employees, and other concerned citizens came and grew in our knowledge on Human Rights. Lifeline thanks Yammie Garay, Training Specialist, International Humanitarian Law, Commission on Human Rights, and Col. Domingo Tutaan, Chief, Human Rights Office, Armed Forces of the Philippines. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership in the pursuit of human rights!
