LAOANEN: Kababaihan, Digmaan, Kapayapaan

The book gathers ten essays by women, including Meranaw writers, on Mindanawon literature and culture, the breakout of the 2017 Marawi Siege, and the resulting Martial Law in Mindanao. It is an offshoot of the Laoanen: Women Stand for Marawi Information & Fundraising Drive that was organized by Gantala Press in the same year in support of internally displaced persons from Marawi, especially women and children.
