DESCRIPTION:President Rodrigo Duterte came to power by
promising a bloody war on drugs. Since he assumed
office in July 2016, thousands of drug users and
dealers have been killed in both police operations
and murders by unknown assailants. Nearly all of
these victims were poor Filipinos who lived in
informal settlements in the country’s largest
and most populous cities.

This frenzy of violence is rooted in wider and
older forms of violence and injustice: poverty,
segregation, and systematic violence against urban
poor communities, such as forced evictions and
police saturation drives.
