About Us

Burma Campaign UK works for 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 to free Burma.

Our work

• Our campaigns have helped free hundreds of political prisoners.
• We expose human rights abuses that the government tries to keep secret.
• We have ensured life-saving aid has reached villagers forced to flee attacks by the Burmese Army.
• We lobby governments all over the world to do more to promote human rights in Burma.
• Our campaigns have stopped companies investing in Burma in ways which contribute to human rights abuses.
• We generate worldwide media coverage, ensuring the world does not ignore the crisis in Burma.
• We provide support and training to Burmese organisations and individuals, building the capacity of people from Burma to speak out and influence the international community.
