This month, IBON Foundation launches thru a mini-forum the book “Guns Against Needles: Escalating attacks against community health workers in the Philippines”. The event will be on 26 January 2018, 2pm at the IBON Conference Hall, 4th Floor located at the IBON building, #114 Timog Ave. QC.

The forum/ launch intends to bring together health and human rights advocates to not only hear about the new book which narrates various experiences of health and development workers  in terms of persecution by State forces while they are in the line of duty in providing health care and development services to the populace. We also hope to create a venue for questions and exchanges with regard to health and human rights in the Philippines.
