Summary

Description
English: In 1988, Thin Thin Aung joined peaceful protests against the military junta that ruled Myanmar. After seeing fellow demonstrators killed in front of her, she was forced to flee to India, where she spent 23 years in exile. “I didn’t want to be called a refugee, but a revolutionary,” she says. Dedicated to the cause of democracy, Thin Thin co-founded the Women’s League of Burma, an umbrella group comprising 13 organizations working across ethnic lines. At last able to return to her country in 2012, she has continued her lifelong activism for lasting peace, with women at the fore. www.inclusivesecurity.org/17-women-changing-world/
