This video documentary highlights the military’s widespread use of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in Burma/Myanmar. This important initiative aims to raise the voices of survivors, shed light on the scale of these crimes, and call for urgent global action.
Women’s League of Burma and our twelve member organizations continue to document these crimes, advocate for justice, and deliver critical support to displaced and traumatized survivors, despite severe security and funding constraints.
We call on the international community, the United Nations Security Council, ASEAN, and neighboring countries to take urgent action:
- End military impunity by referring the military junta to the International Criminal Court.
- Impose targeted sanctions and a global arms embargo to cut the junta’s access to weapons and financial resources.
- Support local, women-led organizations that are providing frontline care and services to survivors of CRSV and gender-based violence.
- Recognize and engage the legitimate democratic and ethnic resistance forces, including the National Unity Government and Ethnic Revolutionary Organizations, to deliver humanitarian assistance.
- Ensure justice mechanisms are survivor-centered, culturally appropriate, and informed by the voices of women from the ground.
