Burma Partnership Launches New Website
By Burma Partnership • February 18, 2010Burma Partnership launched a new website today, designed to be a useful tool for governments, journalists, researchers, and especially activists from Burma and all over the world. The site is available at www.burmapartnership.org.
The new website brings together voices from inside Burma, especially those that are heavily restricted, and presents activities and opinions from groups working along Burma’s borders and international solidarity groups, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. The campaigns, activities, and content on the website represent not only the work of Burma Partnership’s Working Group members, but also the efforts of groups working on many important issues facing Burma today.
“We envisioned this website to show the diversity of all groups working for genuine democratic change in Burma, and to show that there is strength in this diversity,” said Khin Ohmar, Coordinator of Burma Partnership. “It is in working together that we will be able to bring about real development, democracy and national reconciliation in Burma.”
“We strive to make this website an important resource for all people interested in Burma, especially by bringing information and voices from inside Burma and on the border, and sharing them with the world,” added Soe Aung, Deputy Coordinator.
The website contains the latest reports, press releases, and statements from organizations inside Burma and internationally, and highlights four of the major campaigns in the movement: the 2010 Elections, ASEAN, Ending Crimes Against Humanity, and Environmental and Economic Justice. The Blog section has opinions, actions, and analysis of the situation in Burma. For activists, there are tools on advocacy, campaigning, using social media, secure communications, and more.
Burma Partnership is a network of organizations throughout the Asia-Pacific region, advocating for and mobilizing a movement for democracy and human rights in Burma.
