Шаблон:Redirect Шаблон:Use Philippine English Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox political party The Gabriela Women's Party (General Assembly Binding Women for Reform, Integrity, Equality, Leadership and Action), or simply GABRIELA, is a progressive Filipino political party that advocates for women's issues and represents Filipino women in the House of Representatives.

The party is separate, although allied, with GABRIELA National Alliance of Filipino Women.[1] GABRIELA, the alliance, is a nationwide network of grassroots organizations, institutions, and programs that address social issues such as human rights, poverty, globalization, militarism, violence, rape culture, health, sex trafficking, censorship[2] and other issues affecting women. The alliance has regional chapters in Metro Manila, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Mindanao; sub-regional chapters in Negros, Panay and Samar, and provincial chapters in Bicol and Cebu. GABRIELA's membership includes Filipino women from marginalized sectors of society and works towards their education and empowerment.[3] The organization also engages in counseling services, medical missions, free clinics, and trainings on women's health and women's rights.[4]

History

GABRIELA, the alliance, was founded in April 1984 after 10,000 women marched in Manila, defying a Marcos decree against demonstrations.[5] GABRIELA was named in honor of Gabriela Silang,[6] a Filipina revolutionary, who led a revolt against Spain in 1763 following her husband's assassination.[7] Amidst a backdrop of widespread social inequality and unrest, GABRIELA aimed to synthesize issues of national liberation, poverty and women's emancipation.[8] The organization's founders pushed for "Third World feminism" which focused on comprehensive social transformation, rather than focusing on individual forms of oppression.[9] GABRIELA's advocacy challenges patriarchy, alongside resisting foreign influence and neocolonialism.[10]

Electoral performance

In 2003, the Gabriela Women's Party was launched with the help of GABRIELA members and other women's and people's organizations.[5] In the 2004 election for the House of Representatives the party-list received 464,586 votes (3.6518% of the nationwide vote) and won a seat for first nominee Liza Maza[11][12] In the 2007 election, the party won two seats in the nationwide party-list vote. The Gabriela Women's Party was the only women's party to obtain a second term in Congress.[13]
