Lady Solon outraged by Kho-Halili sex video

House of Representatives Assistant Minority leader and Gabriela Women’s Party (GWP) Rep.Liza Maza today expressed support and encouraged the young actress Katrina Halili to file a case to proper bodies if indeed her constitutional right to privacy has been violated.

In a statement sent to CBCPNews, Maza said, Katrina and all other women who have been abused and whose rights to privacy have been violated have every right to file a case. We give Katrina our support and we vow to promote every measure to protect and defend women like her degraded and humiliated by this kind of malicious act.

“It’s time that we look into this matter and push for a legislation that will give women protection against publicizing, proliferating, and selling of private sex videos. It is the women who always lose in these kinds of [sexually explicit] materials. Katrina’s case is only one of the cases of sexual abuse committed against the Filipina,” Maza said in Filipino.

Alarmed over the proliferation of these sex videos, Maza stressed that our laws are not enough vis-à-vis the advancement of the mass media and information technology to protect the Filipino women who become victims of these materials.

She also said that GWP gears up for a roundtable discussion, together with militant women’s group, Gabriela (National Alliance of Women’s Organizations) and legal luminaries on Saturday, May 23 to listen and gather viewpoints about the matter.
