Five years on, and the people continue a fierce revolution—defying military tyranny and sacrificing everything for freedom. The world must stand in true solidarity, amplify their demands, and recognize Burma’s resistance as a vital struggle for self-determination, justice, and liberation

Solidarity statement for Myanmar Women on International day for the elimination of sexual violence in conflict

End sexual violence in Conflict.

Solidarity Statement with Myanmar Women

International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict

June 19, 2025

Today, we stand in steadfast solidarity with people across areas affected by conflict, colonial violence and genocide—Palestine, Sudan, South- Sudan, Afghanistan, Belarus, Tibet, Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, particularly in the Northwest, the Central African Republic, Syria, Kashmir, Ukraine, Haiti. We highlight the reality of our sisters in Myanmar, who sparked the initiative for this global campaign. These women, girls, and LGBTQI+ individuals continue to bear the brunt of
militarization, oppression, gender-based violence and sexual violence in conflict.

In Myanmar, women have been at the forefront of a powerful feminist movement, reclaiming their voices, politics, lands, and resources amid a four-year-long revolution against tyranny. Despite immense risks, they have defied a militarized society intent on silencing and erasing them, continuing to organize, lead, and resist.1 Their fight is not only against sexual and gender-based violence in conflict but also against the root causes of conflict and of militarized violence itself, incl. patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, and (neo)colonialism.
Women in Myanmar face a systematic campaign of sexual violence and abuse perpetrated by the military junta and its affiliates. According to a 2024 report by the U.N. independent human rights investigator,

2 the junta has intensified attacks on villages held by opposition groups, committing atrocities including beheadings, gang rapes, and torture, with women, children, and the elderly among the victims. The Women’s League of Burma (WLB) documented 492 cases of sexual
assault3 against women between February 1, 2021, and June 2024,

$including at least 13 cases where women were raped and subsequently killed. 4 Survivor testimonies from Sagaing, Chin, and Karenni regions reveal sexual violence as a deliberate tool of terror and control—an assault on dignity, bodies, and communities. Conflict Related Sexual Violence (CRSV) is a heinous crime that remains enormously under-reported; for every case that reaches official channels and is verified, countless others go unrecorded. As UNFPA noted, “for every survivor who is able to tell their story, there are thousands who will be forever silent,” underscoring how only a tiny fraction of CRSV ever comes to light. We also acknowledge the ongoing suffering of Rohingya women, who have endured decades of persecution, displacement, and systematic sexual violence at the hands of Myanmar’s military. During the 2017 "clearance operations," humanitarian organizations working in refugee camps in Bangladesh reported receiving dozens, sometimes hundreds, of cases of sexual violence. These atrocities include gang rapes, sexual slavery, and the brutal killing of women and children—likely representing only a fraction of the true scale of abuse. On this day of global remembrance and action, we call on the international feminist community to: 1. Join our campaign* by wearing red lipstick and speaking truth to power wherever you are. Together, let us confront all forms of discrimination and violence against women. 2. Stand in solidarity with survivors of the sexual violence in Myanmar and all conflict-affected countries by emphasizing the importance of investing adequate resources in holistic programs that extend beyond what official data suggests, and by adopting a suvivor centered approach to rehabilitation.$

3. Reject the Myanmar junta’s sham election plans, designed to entrench military power under the illegitimate 2008 constitution. Do not legitimize the State Administration Council (SAC) or allow the military to weaponize aid by channeling humanitarian assistance through the SAC.
4. Demand justice and accountability by imposing consequences for human rights violations across Myanmar. Urge your governments to refer Myanmar’s situation to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and support universal jurisdiction cases against perpetrators of sexual
violence and other crimes. 5. Support the resilience of Myanmar’s women workers, farmers, feminist allies, young girls, LGBTQIA+ communities, and all youth who continue fighting the junta’s brutality to end decades of impunity.
Today, we, the 63 undersigned organizations—including 6 individuals or groups who remain anonymous for security reasons—honor the sisters lost to violence and pledge to forge a safer path for all. We refuse to let sexual violence go unchallenged. United, we
demand justice, dignity, and freedom for all women living in conflict-affected areas.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Rep. Gerald Connolly. During his tenure in Congress, he was a strong advocate for human rights and democracy in Burma. He was a passionate defender for the voiceless, and he believed in leading with compassion while ensuring justice and accountability.
