\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc\u00a03. Urgent Call for Water Aid for Karenni Refugee Camps<\/b><\/p>\n

March 12<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Karenni Refugee Relief Network<\/b>\u00a0has issued an urgent appeal for support to provide clean water to displaced people in Karenni refugee camps.<\/p>\n

“As the hot season approaches, let\u2019s come together to provide even a single drop of clean water for displaced civilians in need. Some may wonder why refugees don\u2019t move to areas with sufficient water supply. The reality is that many of these water-rich areas are now occupied by military bases or conflict zones controlled by the SAC. This has forced displaced people to endure severe water shortages in locations where they are struggling to survive,”<\/b>\u00a0the group stated.<\/p>\n

Many refugee camps are in desperate need of clean drinking water. The network is calling on donors and humanitarian groups to contribute to water relief efforts.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc\u00a04. Campaign to Mobilize Public Support for “Towards Ayeyar West Capital”<\/b><\/p>\n

March 12<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

A campaign titled\u00a0“Towards Ayeyar West Capital”<\/b>\u00a0has been launched with a fundraising target of\u00a01.5 billion MMK<\/b>\u00a0from\u00a0March 3 to March 31<\/b>, calling for public participation.<\/p>\n

“Though we are at an age where we should be learning and experiencing youth freely, we chose to study military tactics far from our university. Once this war ends, we will run back to our university. We will run back to our hometowns. Even if the path is as rough as a summer road, we will overcome all obstacles and return to\u00a0Pakokku<\/b>, known as ‘Ayeyar West Capital.’ This campaign is designed to support that journey home.”<\/p>\n

This campaign is initiated by\u00a0five resistance groups<\/b>\u00a0based in\u00a0Pakokku<\/b>, namely:<\/p>\n

Thu Rain TR<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Earthquake People’s Defence Force<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Justice Revolution Force<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Hunter Pakokku<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Six Senses Guerrilla Force<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Since late\u00a02024<\/b>, these five groups have significantly escalated military operations and achieved notable successes in battles. The campaign aims to sustain\u00a0effective base-capturing operations<\/b>\u00a0within\u00a0Pakokku District<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Contributors can donate any amount they can afford. Each donation will receive a\u00a0serial-numbered certificate of recognition<\/b>. Upon the campaign\u2019s completion, a\u00a0lucky draw<\/b>\u00a0will be conducted using the serial numbers, and commemorative gifts will be awarded to selected donors.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc\u00a05. Informing Yangon Industrial Zone Workers About ILO Article 33 Actions Against the Military Junta<\/b><\/p>\n

March 12<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Activists distributed awareness messages about the\u00a0reasons for implementing Article 33<\/b>\u00a0by placing them inside\u00a0women\u2019s sanitary products<\/b>\u00a0and discreetly distributing them among industrial workers.<\/p>\n

This movement was carried out collaboratively by:<\/p>\n

Four Yangon-based resistance groups<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

The public has witnessed these violations firsthand. Therefore, urgent action is required, and\u00a0people’s voices, opinions, and support<\/b>\u00a0are necessary to push for\u00a0immediate accountability measures against the junta<\/b>.<\/p>\n

137 other human rights violations<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
