A recording of a side event made possible many people, orgs, and member states!

But the story is not about those speaking but the dire crisis on the ground. Through this event, hopefully greater int'l attention will be directed to Burma crisis, esp. in Rakhine State, and yield concrete actions.

WPN participated in the United Nations HLC on Rohingya & Other Minorities.

We directly urged high-level int'l stakeholders to act for protection, justice, and lasting peace for all people in #Myanmar.

コメントしました。「ジェンダー平等というのであれば、女性初の首相が誕生しそうな状況に喜ぶべきでは」という意見がありますが、選択的夫婦別姓や同性婚などのジェンダー・セクシュアリティに関わる政策が進まないのであれば、喜ばしいとは思いません。
