ATTENTION to WOMEN: Right to Refuse

The right to refuse .. ( As per Philippine Law )

It is important that every woman should know about this. For guys, you may pass this to your wife, sisters, mothers, aunts, and lady friends.



I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. We were discussing the law and
women`s rights. She told me about this incident – a young girl was raped by
a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police
station when she and her male friend didn ‘ t have a driver`s license to
show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany
him to the police station. But instead, the officer took her to an isolated area where the
horrendous crime was committed.

Infact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6am, a woman has the
right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has
been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be
arrested between 6pm and 6 amONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer
and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male
officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of
arrest.
