Background
Myanmar's political history has been characterized by a persistent gender imbalance, with women consistently underrepresented and marginalized in decision-making processes. This disparity has deep roots in several interconnected factors: prolonged Military Rule, armed conflicts, traditional gender roles, educational disparities and economic barriers.
Recognizing these challenges and the critical importance of women's political participation, Politics for Women Myanmar (PFWM) emerged as a response to this complex landscape. PFWM use multi-dimensional approach to ensure women participation in decision-making process.
Moreover, PFWM's work aligns with global efforts to achieve gender equality and inclusive governance, as outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5 (Gender Equality) and Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). By promoting women's political participation in Myanmar, PFWM contributes to enhance the quality and representativeness of Myanmar's emerging democratic processes, women's perspectives in policy-making across all sectors. By addressing systemic inequalities, PFWM promotes a more equitable society.
Politics for Women Myanmar stands at a critical juncture in Myanmar's history, working to transform long-standing gender disparities in the political sphere. By addressing both immediate challenges and long-term structural issues, PFWM aims to create a more inclusive, just, and democratic Myanmar, contributing to broader global goals of gender equity and social justice.
