"Almost a decade ago, the Women’s League of Burma (WLB) denounced systematic patterns of
sexual crimes committed by the Burma Army against ethnic women and demanded an end to the
prevailing system of impunity. Today WLB is renewing these calls. Three years after a nominally
civilian government came to power; state-sponsored sexual violence continues to threaten the
lives of women in Burma.
Women of Burma endure a broad range of violations; this report focuses on sexual violence, as the
most gendered crime. WLB and its member organizations have gathered documentation showing
that over 100 women have been raped by the Burma Army since the elections of 2010. Due to
restrictions on human rights documentation, WLB believes these are only a fraction of the actual
abuses taking place."
