📰"Instead of focusing on this non-election, states should increase efforts to hold perpetrators of serious international crimes accountable – including by referring the situation of #Myanmar to the ICC," says @waiwainu.bsky.social @fidh-official.bsky.social www.fidh.org/en/region/as...

📢TODAY: UN Security Council will hold a private meeting on #Myanmar. While appreciated, the meeting will not be effective without transparency, civil society involvement, and substantive actions for protection, #WPS, justice, and accountability. www.securitycouncilreport.org/whatsinblue/...

📰"'They could come together and do something to stop ongoing atrocities in #Rakhine State,' where armed violence against the #Rohingya is ongoing, @waiwainu.bsky.social said, adding that the UN Security Council could also take action without waiting for the ICJ." www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

‼️"In the #Bangladesh camps, the U.S. slashed its funding by nearly half compared to last year. The overall #Rohingya emergency response is only 50% funded for 2025, and aid agencies say next year is expected to be far worse." @apnews.com apnews.com/article/usai...

📌"The UK could, for example, move to convene a public session on the junta’s failure to implement provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice in the #Rohingya genocide case," says UN Special Rapporteur on #Myanmar on the Security Council www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

📄STATEMENT: International Human Rights Day On #HumanRightsDay, WPN calls for urgent and comprehensive actions for protection, justice, and accountability in #Rakhine State and across #Myanmar. 🔗 womenspeacenetwork.org/publications...

🚨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

"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. On #16Days, the int'l community must urgently end #SGBV in #Myanmar & globally, protect survivors, bring justice.

On #16DaysOfActivism, join @waiwainu.bsky.social and Noor Azizah in episode 9 of "Voices of #Rohingya Nation" ⏰Wednesday, December 3 at 10 AM Eastern Time / 9:30 PM #Myanmar IN ENGLISH: youtube.com/@RohingyaNat...

"Myanmar today is a state of terror for women, a nation where impunity reigns and survival has become an act of resistance." On #16Days, @waiwainu.bsky.social and WPN reminds the int'l community of the exacerbating atrocities and catastrophe faced by women in #Myanmar ⬇️

🚨"The Mechanism has received worrying reports of actions in the context of elections which may amount to persecution and spreading terror in a civilian population as crimes against humanity," reports #IIMM on #Myanmar iimm.un.org/en/serious-i...

🚨 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. ✍🏼 Sign the petition to extend TPS and protect lives.

🚨"The Trump administration announced it will cancel temporary asylum for around 10,000 #Myanmar nationals living in the US, despite the country being ruled by a military dictatorship that has a record of executing dissidents." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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.

"As a distracted world fixes its attention on other crises and conflicts, the situation of persons with #disabilities in #Myanmar has truly become a hidden crisis within a forgotten humanitarian catastrophe" Read the Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews' new report ➡️ www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

🚨Dozens of dead #Rohingya found after another boat sinks "Until the drivers of onward movement and the root causes of forced displacement in #Myanmar are resolved, refugees will continue to undertake dangerous journeys in search of safety" www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

🚨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. www.womenofburma.org/reports/seek...
