Myanmar’s Forced Conscription Order (Why Should You Care)
Embark on a journey into the harrowing realities faced by Myanmar's youth in our latest installment of the "Why Should You Care" video series.
As of April 2024, Myanmar's junta mandates the conscription of youth into its armed forces, with plans to enlist 60,000 annually. This order not only disrupts the lives of 14 million individuals but also poses dire consequences for those who resist, with imprisonment awaiting those who evade service.
Through heartfelt interviews with affected youth, we unravel the fear, uncertainty, and resilience amidst these turbulent times, shedding light on the urgent need for intervention.
Watch, listen, and join us in demanding justice and support for Myanmar's displaced youth in their quest for peace and freedom.
