Understanding the Narratives of Pateros Mothers’ Resistance under the Philippine Drug War

What is it about?

This study highlights the case of Ronda ng Kababaihan, a women’s volunteer organization established to conduct night patrols in their neighborhood after witnessing drug-related violence and vigilante killings in Pateros. Findings of this study show how the members used their traditional roles as mothers to legitimize their presence in the streets and the public sphere, and they practice mothering to maintain good relations with the community, police, and local authorities.
