    Collected and Presented by Enlightened Myanmar Research Foundation (EMReF) Sa Voix Vol (3), Issue - 20 Monthly Newsletter Wednesday, 13rd January, 2021 Adopting a ‘people-centered approach’ to the prevention of violence against women December 10, 2020 The union minister, Dr. Win Myat Aye, stated that the government is implementing a people-centered activity to prevent violence against women. The union minister made this statement at the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence online conference on November 25, 2020. Dr. Win Myat Aye said that working towards the development of women, who account for more than half of Myanmar’s population, and protecting them from violence, would have impacts on the overall development and violence prevention process of all citizens. He said that a law on the prevention of violence against women has been drafted to provide more legal protection for women who have experienced violence. Further, he stated that efforts would be made to enact the law as soon as possible after discussions in parliament. This year's theme for the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence To Page 2 2 Vol.3, Issue - 20 News Photo : Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief, and Resettlement Myanmar Facebook is: “Response to violence against women; let’s collect data to have a separate fund." He reminded people to support funding for the prevention of violence against women in various sectors, and that essential services were needed for victims of gender-based violence. Dr. Win Myat Aye said the empowerment of women is becoming more important, as the Union Treaty provides for the inclusion of at least 30% of women in all sectors for gender equality, and he urged all organizations working with the government to do more to ensure equal development for all women, including ethnic women, in the border areas.
