The IIMM published two important reports today: One on the #Myanmar military’s covert #Facebook network pushing hate speech against #Rohingya in 2017, and another on the Myanmar govt's failure to respond to sexual & gender-based crimes against Rohingya. https://t.co/8b0Vn4px6Z

Many thanks to @thinzashunleiyi for a powerful, vulnerable, and extremely informative interview.

Frightening snapshot of the toll of war in Myanmar, now entering its fourth year: 2.6m people displaced; 18.6m people 'in need' (and just 5.3m targeted); major shortfall in humanitarian funding; cont'd intense fighting; aid worker arrests. UN warns of a 'forgotten emergency'.
Fantastiskt roligt att andra föreningar vill lära av @KalmarFF och Kvinnojourens samarbete för att stoppa mäns våld mot kvinnor. Fler borde följa efter och #SabbaStämningen

Läget i Myanmar förvärras, dagligen nyheter om mördade oppositionsledare, hundratals civilas hus som blir nedbrända, attacker på utländska diplomater. Varför är det så osynligt i svenska medier? >>
Latest co-authored piece for the @Diplomat_APAC with an anonymous women's rights activist. We look specifically at #Karenni State and argue that gender equality is critical since the revolution has shifted from peaceful protest to armed resistance.

Flykten från Myanmar
https://t.co/M7Gisf1R7Y
Sedan militärkuppen i #Myanmar 2021 har tiotusentals människor flytt till #Thailand.

‘The youngest victims were two infants, three and seven months old, he said, and added that three of the women who had been killed were pregnant.’

Women are bearing the brunt of the military response in the country’s civil war... Yet in the horrors of the past two years, on the political front and on the battlefield women have been playing a key role. My article in @TheWorldToday@ChathamHouse

🇲🇲Myanmar’s crisis has been forgotten by the world, two years since the February 2021 failed coup.

🚨🧵Two years after the military coup in Myanmar, a report exclusively obtained by @BBCNewsnight and @BBCTrending shows female supporters of democracy are being systematically targeted with hate speech, abuse and doxxing. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar 🇲🇲
The meaningful inclusion of women in security sector reform could disrupt cycles of violence and offer a foundational step toward rectifying Myanmar’s history of widespread police brutality…and culture of impunity. @USIP@GabbySagun https://t.co/T9laOFdjOQ
Den nya högerkonservativa regeringen slaktar biståndet. Sverige kommer inte att visa solidaritet med världens fattiga och när demokratin är på tillbakagång globalt så är detta dåligt i sak och för Sveriges utrikespolitiska inflytande.
