Lawig Bubai

Lawig Bubai is a People’s Organization of women and children who are either actively involved in or survivors of prostitution in Davao City, Philippines.

Lawig Bubai (literally: “Sail on, women!”) reaches out to other women and children who are working in the city’s most populous urban centers and in so-called prostitution-prone areas.

Lawig Bubai advocates the rights and needs of women and children in state and society and trains them to stand up for their rights themselves and to explain the problems, rights and opportunities of protection to their environment (e.g. to girls of the same age as them / their peer groups).
