Welcome to the new website!
By Burma Partnership • February 18, 2010Welcome to the new Burma Partnership website! We hope this will be a useful tool for governments, journalists, researchers, and especially activists from Burma and all over the world.
This website is for all people and organizations who seek to bring peaceful reconciliation to Burma. Those who struggle against the military dictatorship in Burma are not just politicians or come from a single strata of society, but represent all social classes, ethnic groups, religions, occupations, political ideologies, and genders. There are expansive efforts to create a Burma free from fear. This website seeks to bring together all these different voices, including those from inside Burma that are heavily restricted, as well as present 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 our website represent not only the work of Burma Partnership’s Working Group members, but also the works and efforts of groups focusing on many important issues facing Burma today. Through this website, we aim to show the diversity and synergy of all groups working towards genuine development and democracy in Burma.
Since the Saffron Revolution, there has been growing unity between people and organizations working on Burma. For example, in 2009 we saw the Free Burma’s Political Prisoners Now! campaign that brought together hundreds of organizations all over the world.
Together, we have laid a great foundation upon which we must continue to build our collective efforts, creating a stronger and more effective movement for democracy and human rights, protecting Burma’s communities, resources, environment, and ensuring a better future for all citizens. With all the challenges we anticipate during the junta’s impending elections, there has never been a greater need for coordination amongst us, the international movement for democracy, peace and human rights in Burma.
Learning from our experience of working together in the past, we are confident and prepared to face these challenges drawing strength from our commitment, our diversity, and the power of our collective efforts.
