Women's Issues in Burma

Thursday, October 27, 2005

Decades of civil war in Burma have resulted in brutal violence and the displacement of many Burmans. In today’s Underreported feature, we’ll look at the particular toll this conflict has had on women and children--who are often forced into hard labor, and become victims of rape and sexual violence. We’ll talk to Ohmar Khin, the coordinator of the “Peacebuilding and Reconciliation Program” for the Women's League of Burma, and Sandra Krause from the Women’s Commission for Refugee Women and Children.
