AF3IRM NYC celebrates International Women’s Day with a talk-back featuring member and award-winning author Ninotchka Rosca on her trip with AF3IRM’s National Chairperson Jollene Levid to the Philippines where they met with women, organizers, and community groups in Leyte, Mindanao, Cebu, and Manila in the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan.

In honor of the working women and also to learn more about how women and children are disparately impacted by sexual violence in the aftermath of military conflicts and natural calamities like Typhoon Haiyan, AF3IRM has created this public forum.
