About [Edit]
The Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates (PAHRA) is an alliance of individuals, institutions and organizations committed to the promotion, protection and realization of human rights. Among its members are national human rights organizations and institutions. Majority are based in Metro-Manila but has provincial and regional counterparts in strategic parts of the country.
PAHRA was established on August 9, 1986 in a Congress that was participated in by more than a hundred organizations from all over the country. Among its founding members are organizations and individuals who were in the forefront of the struggle against the Marcos Dictatorship.
The establishment of PAHRA was in consolidation of the human rights movement in the country and an acknowledgement of the role played by the human rights organization in the anti-dictatorship struggle. It was a recognition of the need for an organization that will act as a formal venue for cooperation and coordination among human rights groups in the country.
From its founding in 1986, PAHRA has consistently been in the forefront of struggle for human rights. Today, it has established itself not only as one of the major human rights formations but one of the leading voices in human rights advocacy in the country.
Campaign against militarization which calls on the government to stop massive military operations that cause massive displacement of civilians and violations of peoples rights.
Campaign for justice which calls for the release of all political prisoners and a stop to the practice of charging political offenders with common crimes. The campaign also calls on the government to surface victims of enforced and involuntary disappearances and works for the indemnification of victims of human rights violations.
Campaign against state repression is aimed at preventing the government from imposing laws that infringe on the peoples basic rights.
Campaign against development agression is focused on violations of human rights and destructive effects caused by so-called "development" projects.
Campaign for the abolition of the death penalty which aims for the repeal of Republic Act 7659.
