Women in the Philippines Have Had Enough of President Duterte’s ‘Macho’ Leadership

As Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte prepared for his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday, his third since assuming power in 2016, protesters took to the streets in and around Manila. Police expected around 40,000 protesters against his administration and 40,000 in favor of the controversial leader. Among those anti-government protesters are women's rights activists, who have increasingly been speaking out against the Duterte administration.
