    Sa Voix Monthly Newsletter Vol (3), Issue-20

    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.

    Geographical Point of View on Transformation from Waste Disposal Site to Housing in Yangon City Dr

    1 Geographical Point of View on Transformation from Waste Disposal Site to Housing in Yangon City Dr. Nant Mu Aye Professor and Head Geography Department Yangon University of Economics Introduction Brownfields are generally defined as abandoned or underused industrial or commercial properties where redevelopment is complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination. Brownfields vary in size, location, age and past use. They can range from a small, abandoned corner gas station to a large, multi-acre former manufacturing plant that has been closed for years. ( Environmental Protection Agency,) Some waste disposal sites suffer from the mistaken perception that they are contaminated, when in fact, they just need to be cleared of debris. There may be soil and groundwater contamination caused by discharges or dumping of organic and inorganic chemicals. Redevelopment of waste disposal sites benefits communities through urban regeneration, reduced sprawl, an increase in tax revenues and job and an improved living environment. Therefore, transformation of waste disposal site to housing area is important for sustainable development of the urban area. Brownfield redevelopment is important because it - restores urban property to productive use, thus increasing property values - increases job opportunities and local tax revenues - improves public health and the environment - utilizes existing public infrastructure. - eliminates neighbourhood blight, thus improving a community's image and long-term sustainability. Brownfields can be redeveloped for a wide variety of purposes. Successful redevelopment efforts have turned brownfields into retail sites, light industrial facilities, office parks, waterfront promenades, parks, schools, low–income housing, stadiums and transit centres. Strategic Brownfield redevelopment can clean up environmental hazards, remove neighbourhood eyesore, create jobs, provide housing and promote general economic health in local communities of all sizes.
