Statement on PHSA Culture of Sexual Abuse and Violence

Author/s: E-Net Philippines
Publication Date: July 4, 2022

The Civil Society Network for Education Reforms or E-Net Philippines is concerned and strongly condemns the alleged culture of bullying emotional abuse, sexual abuse and violence happening at the Philippine High School for the Arts, the country’s premier art school, that has traumatized generations of children. These alleged acts which were made public through a news article in VICE World News are based on interviews with abuse survivors and a letter to the PHSA administrators, signed by 89 current students and 79 alumni in January 2022, demanding the school leadership to investigate alleged abuses and ensure “safe spaces” when they resume physical classes post-lockdown in August.
