ATTENTION to WOMEN: Right to Refuse

The right to refuse .. ( As per Philippine Law )

Guys, pls. pass on to your wife , girlfriends; and ladies, you may want to
forward to any female relatives who may need to know this important
information.

I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. We were discussing the law and
women`s rights. She told me about this incident - a young girl was raped by
a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police
station when she and her male friend didn ' t have a driver`s license to
show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany
him to the police station. But instead, the officer took her to an isolated area where the
horrendous crime was committed.

Infact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6am, a woman has the
right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has
been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be
arrested between 6pm and 6 am , ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer
and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is arrested by a male
officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of
arrest.

It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use remains
to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge is power. Just
thought I`d share this with you.

I did not know this and am sure lot of us will not know this- please be
informed.... . And pass on this info to whom all u know.......
