The Situation of Kachin Women during the Current Political Crisis

Abstract

As they struggle for basic rights, the Kachin continue to suffer from civil war and human rights violations. In particular, Kachin women suffer a great deal. This paper focuses on the daily lives of these women and their community support systems, while the conflict is underway. It also includes background history of the Kachin and their revolutionary movement for political rights, including an account of the 1994 ceasefire agreement, which was broken in June 2011. Lastly, the paper will cover the situation of internally displaced people along the China-Burma Border and current occurrence of trafficking of Kachin women.
