Have you ever felt: "I just want to go home.....", I have and I always could go home....but...the women of Myanmar cant just go home. So many women have fled and are living now in exile.
For these women, We women, is still there to support them when they are in need of some support. A partial scholarship, Inner leadership coaching, trauma support, CDM support and with English classes. We keep on supporting the small needs and will do whatever we can with the small capacity that we have.
I heard a heartbreaking plea the other day of Thiri and I want to share it with you:
"Amidst the turmoil and conflict in Myanmar, the media often portrays the country as a place of constant suffering and despair. However, in reality, the daily lives of its citizens are much more nuanced. Though the situation is dire and the military is ever-present, with guns pointed at citizens and constant surveillance, people still find ways to live their lives and find joy amidst the chaos. The military sees everyone as a potential enemy, and even those who are not involved in politics are targeted and subjected to harassment, arrest, and even torture. The use of technology is also heavily restricted, and even having a mobile phone or posting something on social media can result in arrest."
Thiri describes was forced to use different phones every few days and how she was unable to sleep due to the constant fear of arrest and torture. While the media may highlight the conflict in Myanmar for a brief period, the suffering of its citizens continues long after the spotlight has moved on.
This is what is seen around the world, the spotlight has moved on, but teh poeple of Myanmar still want to go home and everyone inside the country still wants to live in peace again. Please keep on supporting our cause, as it is of tremendous value that you keep being part of our team, to ket all the women of Myanmar know that we still think about them and that we care.
Warme regards,
Ursula
