The National Day of Outrage, a nationwide protest action organised by LGBT community groups against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. We are united in calling for justice for Jennifer Laude, a Filipina trans woman killed by a US serviceman in an act of hatred. We believe that one's SOGIE makes an individual vulnerable to gender-based violence and discrimination, and in the case of Jennifer Laude, this vulnerability was worsened by the military deal between the Philippines and the United States.
Protest actions will happen simultaneously on Oct. 24, 2014 at 4 PM at Quezon City (UP Sunken Garden), Olongapo City (Ulo ni Apo), Cebu City (Fuente Osmena), General Santos City (Plaza Heneral Santos), and Legaspi City (Peñaranda Park). Please wear white and bring candles and rainbow ribbons. Demand action from national & local authorities to stop violence and discrimination based on SOGIE!
Solidarity events will also be held outside the Philippines in Leiden, Netherlands and Mahidol University, Thailand.
