Equipping and Supporting Burmese Women After the Coup

It’s been a year since the Burmese military carried out a coup. Since that time, the Burmese people have faced persecution, extrajudicial imprisonment, and severe restrictions on their freedoms. Despite the Burmese military’s best efforts, the Burmese people have demonstrated their resilience, fighting to defend freedom in their country. Join us on International Women’s Day for a program reflecting on the power of Burmese women as they actively thwart the military’s advances and safeguard freedom. The Biden administration’s efforts to respond to the coup have fallen far short of what is needed to fully support their cause. We will discuss how the U.S. government can support Burmese women as they fight for a brighter future in their country.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
