Our Featured Woman Changemaker for Today LIZA FAYE PINGCO
Summary of the news
Meet Liza - a fearless 25-vear-old human rights defender from Cebu City and the Secretary General of Karapatan - Central Visavas.
Inspired by her experience witnessing state-persecuted individuals stand up for Indigenous Peoples' rights, Liza made a bold decision: to dedicate her life to defending the voiceless and standing with communities demanding justice.
She leads paralegal trainings, provides legal support to political prisoners, and works tirelessly alongside victims of human rights violations across Cebu, Bohol, and Negros Islands - strengthening communities and advancing the fight for dignity, self-determination, and freedom.
Women like Liza are not just part of the movement - they lead it. Their courage confronts injustice. Their leadership builds stronger communities. Their voices demand to be heard
This International Women's Day, we celebrate her - and all women who boldly defend human rights and stand for justice.
