About the book
First-person stories of Moro and Teduray women: fighters, wives of combatants, women caught between armies, and peace advocates. It was made jointly by 3 Bangsamoro women's organisations and Conciliation Resources.
This book gathers first-person stories from women of the Bangsamoro: Moro, Lumad and settler. It was made by Nisa Ul Haqq Fi Bangsamoro, UnYPhil-Women and the Teduray Lambangian Women's Organisation with Conciliation Resources, and published in March 2016 with British government funding.
The stories are grouped in 5 parts: women on the frontline of armed conflict, women in the families of fighters, women caught in between and fleeing conflict, women who chose peace and faced their own biases, and daily life beyond the conflict. Among them is Hadja Aziza Tabayag, who joined the MNLF and became a commander after her husband and 4 sons were killed in 1973, and Elsie Benito Travilla, a Teduray woman who resisted extortion and land grabbing in South Upi.
A closing section draws out the roles women played: heads of family, sources of hope, fighters, leaders and peacebuilders. It came out of a wider project, begun in 2013, to secure women's meaningful participation in the Bangsamoro under the 2014 peace agreement.
Published with Nisa Ul Haqq Fi Bangsamoro, UnYPhil-Women and the Teduray Lambangian Women’s Organization.
