About Us

You are here: Home / About Us

Burma Campaign UK is part of a global movement working for the promotion of human rights, democracy and development in Burma.

Founded in 1991, Burma Campaign UK is one of the leading Burma campaign organisations in the world. We play a crucial role in coordinating the international campaign for human rights in Burma and work closely with human rights activists in Burma and in exile.

Our work

  • We work with activists and organisations across Burma to make sure their voices and demands for international action are heard. 
  • We have helped secure sanctions on military companies. 
  • We have forced many companies to stop doing business with the military. 
  • We mobilise international action to cut money and arms going to the military. 
  • We expose human rights abuses that the military tries to keep secret. 
  • We have ensured life-saving aid has reached villagers forced to flee attacks by the Burmese army. 
  • We generate worldwide media coverage, ensuring the world does not forget about Burma. 
  • We are a small organisation dependent on public support. We do not receive any government funding. If you would like to support Burma Campaign UK, click here
