🚨Two women, two cases of rape. In #Rakhine State, the Arakan Army is targeting #Rohingya women with sexual violence just like the Burmese military did in 2017 & for decades.

The world must listen to survivors' voices, bring justice & end root causes of #SGBV. #16Days #Myanmar

"Whenever I feel pain on my hand, I remember the genocide that we faced in 2017. I hope that I will get justice before I go back to my home.”

📢 #Genocide & gender-based violence are intertwined. The world must take #GBV as seriously as any other crime, and bring justice. #16Days #Myanmar #Rohingya
December 9, 2025 at 10:54 AM
"Everyday when I sleep, I hear the screaming of my children who were killed in front of my eyes."

➡️ In #Rakhine State, an ongoing genocide is unfolding where #GBV is, once again, being wielded as a tool to erase #Rohingya women. We condemn all #SGBV, & call for urgent action.

🚨Romana, a mother of two children, was raped by the Arakan Army while fleeing to Bangladesh with 10 families from her village in Buthidaung Township in May 2024.

🚨 The USA has ended temporary protected status (TPS) for people from Myanmar, falsely claiming conditions improved.

Yet, the people of Myanmar are being terrorised daily by an illegal military junta committing int'l crimes with impunity.

Alarming news about the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Burmese nationals in the United States, and words supporting the junta's sham elections & normalizing the crisis.

The USG must clarify its position on #Burma & reemphasize its continued support for the country's people.

🚨Myanmar junta is escalating violence & coercion ahead of its sham election. Civilians are being forced to vote under threat, while airstrikes & crackdowns continue.

No legitimacy, this is not an election. ❌

The world must stand with the people of #Myanmar, not the junta.

Alongside our partners at @womenspeacenetwork.org, we recently co-organized a conversation between the head of the Independent Investigative Mechanism for #Myanmar (IIMM) and human rights advocates.

The IIMM's investigations into international crimes in Myanmar remain critical.

Since attempted coup, WLB has documented over 550 cases of CRSV & SGBV—yet accountability remains absent. 🚨

Intl community & donors must provide direct support to women-led organizations working to help survivors & act to hold the junta accountable.
