The Commission on Human Rights has described as "deplorable" and "unacceptable" as it condemned the attack by a policeman against his girlfriend during a birthday party in Kidapawan City, Cotabato.
In a statement, the CHR said the incident last April 10 is a clear violation of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women . "CEDAW mandates States to take measures to prevent and protect women from all forms of violence, and to ensure that those responsible for such violence are brought to justice," it stressed.
"We urge the authorities to ensure that the perpetrator is held fully accountable in line with the rule of law," the CHR said.
