The Bangkok Rules in Filipino

The Bangkok Rules commit states, including the Philippines, to reduce the incarceration of women, and if they are already in prison, protect their rights and uphold their dignity.

This publication, a translation of the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders, was produced under the Delivery of Women’s Legal Literacy and Access to Justice Services in the Philippines Project of the Partnership of Philippine Support Service Agencies (PHILSSA), an implementing partner of UN Women.

The John J. Carroll Institute on Church and Social Issues (ICSI) supervised the development of this publication. Multi-awarded author and poet, Roberto Añonuevo, translated the text into Filipino. All illustrations are by Queenie Anne Umadhay
