APWLD strongly condemns the arrest warrants issued against Jacq Ruiz and Jerome Adonis on 13 August 2026, in connection with their participation in May Day protests demanding decent wages, secure employment and safe working conditions.

The criminalisation of labour activists and women/human rights defenders is a serious attack on workers’ rights and the labour movement.

We call on the Philippine government to:
✊ Immediately drop all charges against Jacq Ruiz, Jerome Adonis and other labour activists
✊ Uphold workers’ rights to freedom of association, collective bargaining and peaceful protest
✊ Respect its commitments under ILO Conventions Nos. 87 and 98
✊ Stop corporate-backed, state-led attacks against labour and women’s rights movements

Peaceful protest and raising our voices for better working conditions are not crimes.

APWLD stands in solidarity with Jacq, Jerome and all labour rights activists in the Philippines.

The belief that “a strong military equals strong national security” has driven countries to expand their military power at the expense of people and the planet.

In the name of security and development, lands, forests and natural resources are taken and extracted, while the communities who live on and with these lands face the consequences.

✊ From Japan, the Philippines, Hawaiʻi and Afghanistan, women peace activists and human rights defenders will share stories from the ground and their long-standing resistance against the militarisation of their lives, lands, communities and environments.

Join our upcoming webinar and hear from those at the forefront of these struggles:

History shows that imperial powers built their wealth through resource extraction from the Global South, using militarism as a tool of domination. This has fuelled a war economy where regional instability is profitable, weapons sales thrive, conflicts are prolonged and militarisation becomes normalised.

While imperial powers and governments pour public resources into weapons in the name of "security", women bear the consequences through violence, economic exploitation, environmental destruction and the devastation of their communities.

Join our first webinar next week to explore militarism through a grassroots feminist lens and learn why feminist peace and justice are essential to resisting war and imperialism.

What if we prioritised people over war?

Governments often claim there is not enough money to end hunger, educate every child or undertake climate justice. Yet in 2025, the global military spending was USD 2.9 trillion.

Imagine what just a fraction of that could do:

👉 Less than 4% could end world hunger by 2030.
👉 10% could fully vaccinate every child worldwide.
👉 14% could cover the annual climate adaptation needs of developing countries.
👉 Just 1.8 years of global military spending could provide 12 years of education for every child in low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Each dollar spent on militarisation is a dollar diverted from healthcare, education, climate justice and people’s lives. True and just peace cannot be built on militarism and imperialism, as these only deepen inequality.

🔊 Join us as we kick off our campaign:
Say No to Militarism & Imperialist Wars,
Demand Feminist Peace and Justice Now. ✊
