Duterte's “War against Drugs”, which he initiated shortly after his office in 2016, led to widespread allegations for extrajudicial murders and human rights violations. According to the campaign, up to 30,000 people, mainly from impoverished urban areas, were killed during the campaign. The victims, mainly men, were often shot by police or unknown attacks on the streets or in their houses.

While the Filipino authorities claimed that the police are in self -defense, several human rights organizations and advocacy groups have questioned these claims and claimed that the police have routinely invented evidence to justify death. Eyewitnesses to many of the murders have often found that the victims were unarmed and did not pose a threat than they were shot.
