We were appalled by a post yesterday by University for Peace @UPEACE giving 2-day training in #Myanmar in collab w/ murderous military junta. Now they took it down. Shame on you @UPEACE Take responsibility, apologize to Myanmar people. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar #SpringRevolution

This could have been prevented. Members of our network warned us about famine for months. In July, we issued a report on the all-encompassing death spiral in #Rakhine State, targeting #Rohingya. #UNSC must act now, incl. by enabling cross-border aid. 🔗womenspeacenetwork.org/s/Report_2024_…

Up to two million people in #Myanmar’s Rakhine state face the dire prospect of famine, amid a broader economic collapse and worsening humanitarian crisis triggered by the 2021 military coup news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

Myanmar‘s war-ravaged Rakhine state could face imminent famine according to a new UN report, which estimates that more than two million people could be at risk of starvation aje.io/c2b0j5

Very insensitive from @UNICEF On #WorldChildrensDay, we must do everything to protect #Myanmar youth from ongoing & future atrocities. OHCHR reported that junta arrested 540+ children since coup attempt. Junta is also killing, torturing, displacing them. No future w/o justice.

When floods impact communities in #Myanmar, children remind us why climate action cannot wait. As #COP29 approaches, their message is clear: we need environmental education and climate solutions now. We must #ListenToTheFuture as young voices lead the way. #WorldChildrensDay

I welcome this vital engagement. #UNSC members must follow up on this meeting with actions incl. inviting #IIMM to open meeting& referring #Myanmar situation to #ICC. Evidence of crimes must be used for prosecution,atrocity prevention,justice to victims & survivors,genuine peace.

Today,🇨🇭hosted an informal meeting with #UNSC members & Head of the Independent Investigative Mechanism for #Myanmar. Collecting & preserving evidence is key to ensuring accountability, ending impunity & achieving lasting peace in Myanmar.

New @UNDP report reveals what my community remaining in #Rakhine State have warned for months while facing targeted atrocities by #Myanmar junta & #Arakan Army. Int'l community #UNSC must now respond with effective actions, incl. cross-border aid, justice. undp.org/asia-pacific/p…

"Under these anticipated conditions, scenario of repatriating 1 million+ #Rohingya is simply inconceivable." ➡️#UNDP says ongoing disaster in #Rakhine, #Myanmar, is "famine in making." Int'l community must act now, incl. by enabling direct cross-border aid to targeted Rohingya.

🚨#UN's latest "Gender-Impact Flash Update: #Myanmar Flooding" reveals worsening humanitarian crisis, but fails to underscore catastrophic effects of junta's airstrikes, atrocities, aid weaponization on ppl, esp. #women. Local CSOs, experts of ground reality, needs most support.

We were proud to stand with @waiwainu last month as she spoke truth to power at the UN Security Council. In #Myanmar and beyond, the international community bears complicity in human rights abuses thanks to its refusal to hold perpetrators accountable. x.com/WomensPeaceNW/…

📺@waiwainu: "On #Myanmar, I urge the #UNSC to hold an emergency, open briefing to discuss the situation, prevent further mass atrocities – especially in #Rakhine State – and build on Resolution 2669 with stronger action, incl. new resolution." WATCH 🔽🔽 youtube.com/watch?v=bDh52T…
