A delegation of women from Burma have joined the Global Summit To End Sexual Violence In Conflict being held in London this week, hosted by British Foreign Secretary William Hague and Angelina Jolie.
Moon Nay Li, coordinator at the Kachin Women’s Association Thailand (KWAT), writes in Mizzima: “If the international community is serious about ending sexual violence, it will have to be willing to change its engagement with Myanmar. It will have to issue a clear ultimatum to the Myanmar government: that either it establishes an independent investigation, with international expertise, into sexual violence in Myanmar, or the UN will conduct its own investigation.”
