Women’s “Sex Strike” Ends Fighting In Philippine Villages

Awesome. Women on the Philippine island of Mindanao, growing tired of the continuing separatist warfare interfering in their everyday goings-on, decided to take matters into their own hands. And by hands, I mean pants. They organized a “sex strike”, which brought a quick end to fighting between the two villages.

Seriously. This is from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. That’s their YouTube report up there.

Just so we’re clear, the separatist rebellion in Mindanao has been going on since some time in the 1970s, leading to skirmishes between local villages and the national military.

Says CNN:

Within weeks of the strike starting, the UNHCR reports that the main village road re-opened and the fighting stopped. The women of the sewing cooperative along with other villagers were able to deliver their goods and start to rebuild the economy.

Nice job, Lysistrata.
