    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.

    Please copy and paste the following text into your e-mail To: UN Human Rights Council Member States’ foreign ministers and their country missions in Geneva On 1 February, the Myanmar military seized power in a military coup d'etat and arbitrarily detained President Win Myint, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and other civilian leaders. A year-long state of emergency was declared, installing Vice-President and former lieutenant- general Myint Swe as the acting President, who immediately handed over power to commander- in-chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. The coup has been met with nationwide peaceful demonstrations by the people of Myanmar demanding that the Military respects the outcomes of the November 2020 elections, restores the elected civilian government and releases all those who are arbitrarily detained, and that the Military be held accountable for its atrocities. The junta has responded to these protests with systematic and violent crackdowns. The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar has described the junta’s crackdown on peaceful protestors as crimes against humanity. Since the coup, over 755 people, including at least 43 children, women and medical workers have been killed so far in the junta’s violence. Also, over 4,496 people, including human rights defenders and journalists documenting the military’s atrocities, civil society and political activists, and civilian political leaders have been arbitrarily arrested and detained and raided their offices and homes. Whereabouts of many who have been arrested remain unknown while several others have reported torture, sexual violence and ill treatment in detention.

  • (BRI) in Myanmar
    MYANMAR POLICY BRIEFING | 22 | November 2019 Selling the Silk Road Spirit: China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Myanmar Key points • Rather than a ‘grand strategy’ the BRI is a broad and loosely governed framework of activities seeking to address a crisis in Chinese capitalism. Almost any activity, implemented by any actor in any place can be included under the BRI framework and branded as a ‘BRI project’. This allows Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and provincial governments to promote their own projects in pursuit of profit and economic growth. Where necessary, the central Chinese government plays a strong politically support- ive role. It also maintains a semblance of control and leadership over the initiative as a whole. But with such a broad framework, and a multitude of actors involved, the Chinese government has struggled to effectively govern BRI activities. • The BRI is the latest initiative in three decades of efforts to promote Chinese trade and investment in Myanmar. Following the suspension of the Myitsone hydropower dam project and Myanmar’s political and economic transition to a new system of quasi-civilian government in the early 2010s, Chinese companies faced greater competition in bidding for projects and the Chinese Government became frustrated. The rift between the Myanmar government and the international community following the Rohingya crisis in Rakhine State provided the Chinese government with an opportunity to rebuild closer ties with their counterparts in Myanmar. The China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) was launched as the primary mechanism for BRI activities in Myanmar, as part of the Chinese government’s economic approach to addressing the conflicts in Myanmar.
