I got this from Marnellie’s site (thanks sis!) and I also wanted to share this with you. This was an email sent to her which is very informative and worth remembering.

The right to refuse .. (sa PINAS to ha..)

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. Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed.

In fact, 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 6pmand 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.
