Make Swe HKU

Make Swe visits Politics for Women Myanmar (PFWM) to discuss inclusive leadership! 🌏
We connected with PFWM, a pioneering organization placing women’s voices at the heart of Myanmar’s national identity. Our discussion explored how shifting political systems and decades of conflict created patriarchal “backlines” that have long sidelined women, and how PFWM is now breaking these cycles to ensure women lead at every level of governance ✏️
By championing intersectional feminism, PFWM provides the media training and advocacy tools needed to transform diverse ethnic women from survivors into powerful political agents. This visit highlighted that a true federal democracy is only possible when built on deep trust, gender equity, and a genuine sense of belonging for all
