Addressing Sexual Violence in Burma

March 2, 2015 Campaign News

Our campaign is reported in City News,  Chiang Mai:

Anna Roberts of Burma Campaign UK , suggests the British government take action with the tools from their own Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative. Roberts pointed out in a recent article that the British government can take three practical steps toward ending rape in Burma.

“Step One: The British government has set up teams of experts to investigate cases like this. They should lobby the Burmese government at the highest level to allow a team to be sent to Burma.

Step Two: Stop training the Burmese Army until they take concrete action to end impunity for rape, and take other steps to prevent rape.

Step Three: Support an international investigation into rape and sexual violence in Burma. These rapes are war crimes, and the UN should investigate,” Roberts wrote.
