October marks Peasant month in the Philippines. In rural areas of the country, the peasant masses are the primary victims of state terror and violations of human rights and international humanitarian law (IHL) by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). As they till the land, produce to feed millions, and clamor for genuine land reform, peasants are an essential part of the struggle for a just peace. Meanwhile, peasants face the brunt of IHL violations in the context of the ongoing armed conflict because their struggle for land reform is a threat to the monopoly land ownership and big foreign companies which the Armed Forces of the Philippines protects.
This month, ICHRP calls upon people all over the world to learn about the situation of peasants in the Philippines and join us in a month of solidarity and express the following calls:
Support the Filipino People’s Call for Genuine Land Reform!
Stop the Attacks Against Filipino Peasants!
Oppose State Terrorism in the Philippines!

ICHRP is also collecting donations which will go directly to peasant organizers in the Philippines, who are in need of support in the midst of state attacks. Click here to access the donation form.
