February 25, 1986 was the historic climax of the EDSA Revolution, otherwise known as People Power I, which toppled a government infamous for human rights violations. It became obvious immediately thereafter that much work still had to be done in the field of human rights. It was in this context that the Ateneo Human Rights Center (AHRC) was established in July of that same year by Dean Eduardo de los Angeles of the School of Law of the Ateneo de Manila University and Atty. Abelardo Aportadera. AHRC's initial program was the Summer Internship Program, which was designed to provide law students with exposure to human rights work and advocacy and produced its first crop of interns in the summer of 1987. Since then, the Internship Program was expanded to include many other activities.

The Institute of Human Rights (IHR) concerns itself with the protection and promotion of human rights, including the political, civil, economic, social and cultural rights of all, especially those of the indigenous peoples, the urban poor, the working class and the peasantry.
The Institute is part of the University of the Philippines Law Complex, an integrated system of national legal institutions within the University whose concerns extend not only to the teaching of law but also to the provision of services responsive to current social challenges and relevant to the changing legal and law-related needs of Filipinos. Fulfilling the mandate of the Law Complex along with the IHR are the Institute of Government and Law Reform, Institute of Judicial Administration, and the Institute of International Legal Studies.
The Institute is a member of the Southeast Asian Human Rights Network (SEAHRN) of which it is Convenor from January 2012 to December 2013, ASEAN University Network (AUN), and Asian Consortium on Human Rights-Based Access to Justice (HRBA2J).

Maryknoll College (now Miriam College) was one of the pioneers in introducing women’s studies in the Philippines. As early as the 1970s, the course “Women and Society” was introduced in the school’s curriculums. In the early 1980s, the school along with leading institutions in Metro Manila, organized the Metro Manila Women’s Studies Consortium, the predecessor of the Women’s Studies Association of the Philippines (WSAP).
In the 1987, the Women’s Resource and Research Center (WRRC) was established on campus to address the “integrative needs of women’s research, action and scholarship towards social transformation based on truth, justice, and peace.”
Currently, the Women and Gender Institute (WAGI) continues the pioneering efforts of the WRRC with its renewed efforts in charting new directions for the school’s women and gender programs through initiatives in gender-fair education, feminist research and advocacy on women’s rights. It offers a cross-discipline perspective on women’s empowerment that is interlinked with democracy, human rights, social justice and value formation. WAGI became operational in the Second Semester of School Year 1999-2000, under the presidency of Dr. Patricia B. Licuanan.
WAGI is an active co-creator of a just, peaceful and sustainable future through its promotion of non-sexist learning that upholds women’s rights and gender equality.WAGI provides services in gender-fair education, young women’s leadership formation, feminist scholarship, and gender mainstreaming in public policy, to academic and non-academic organizations and institutions in the Philippines and in the Asia Pacific region.
WAGI upholds the principles of justice, gender equality and equity, tolerance and respect, and autonomy.
