Without credible legal consequences, this cycle of arrest, release, & re-arrest will continue indefinitely," writes Salai Za Uk Ling. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

BURMA'S BREAKING POINTS: Evolution in Mon State: March 25th 9 AM: the next instalment will be on Mon State. Mon State has become a strategic corridor where civilians are squeezed by overlapping systems of extortion, displacement, and forced recruitment. Armed actors and junta authorities extract money at checkpoints, impose illegal taxes on trade and transport, and control key roads and coastal routes, forcing families, traders, and migrant workers to pay simply to move, work, or avoid harassment. At the same time, junta-enforced conscription and recruitment by armed groups push people to flee their homes, while growing smuggling, forced labor, and other abusive economies along transport corridors erode livelihoods and drive many into debt and repeated displacement. With Nai Mon Saing, Maggi Quadrini & Dr. Ah Chan
我的抵抗不只一種：東南亞女性抗爭者系列座談 #場次 早在政變之前：一名離散緬甸克欽族女性抗爭者的抵抗 在緬甸，對尊嚴與權利的追求並非始於五年前的政變。許多少數族裔，早已為族群的生存與尊嚴奮鬥數十年。在西方殖民遺緒與長期大緬族主義的結構下，多元族群長期承受壓迫與衝突，傷痕至今未癒。 在台灣，就有這樣一位來自克欽族的年輕女性。她從學生時期投入族群運動，為克欽族的權益發聲。政變後，她在海外持續投入緬甸民主運動，組織海外克欽學生社群，讓流離的人彼此扶持，在離散中尋找力量。是什麼樣的信念，讓她堅定走在這條抗爭的道路上？身為一名克欽族女性，她如何理解民族運動與緬甸民主之間的關係？ 講者：離散緬甸克欽族女性抗爭者 時間：3月26日（四）19:00-21:00 語言：英文（若需中文翻譯，請於報名表單註明） 地點：近台北車站，將於報名成功信件通知確切地點 立刻到 @acfa.tw 首頁連結免費報名！
