“Burma Women’s Voices for Hope” is the sixth edition of
the Women’s Voices series. This book is a collection of stories and poems
about the diverse experiences of women refugees, exiles and women activists
from inside Burma. The contributors, many of who are first time writers, have shared their experiences of conflict and human rights abuses under the Burma military regime. At the same time they speak with determination and hope of the type of future they envisage for Burma – a future of democracy, freedom and human rights for all. Stories Include: • “To Save Our People” & “In The Dam’s
Path” – stories by 2 Yintalai women, sharing their concerns about the future
of the remaining 1,000 Yintalai people of Burma and their struggle to stop
the Salween dam project that threatens to wash their communities away. “This new, sixth collection of, “Women’s Voices” are the voices of women shouting out to the world for an audience. We must open our ears to these voices who courageously dare to speak out. We must open our hearts to the vision that these women tenaciously work for. We must act to support them, as they refuse to give up in the face of danger.” - Excerpt from Foreword by Ms Nursyahbani Katjasungkana - Indonesian parliamentarian and a well known feminist lawyer and activist. |
