home insemination kits with syringes
I must admit, I found it difficult to focus on global events. With work commitments, remote learning, and the ongoing chaos surrounding COVID-19 vaccinations, I was emotionally drained. However, one morning changed everything. As I perused my news app while my twin daughters slept beside me, I came across a harrowing headline: “She was shot dead, her body dug up, and her grave filled with cement. But her fight is not over.” My anger and horror intensified as I absorbed the details of these devastating occurrences, realizing that such tragedies deserve far more attention.
This could have easily been my daughter, a spirited child who passionately advocates for others and stands against injustice, even at her tender age of five. The story of Angel, a 19-year-old girl shot in the head by the military, whose remains were exhumed and encased in cement, showcases her valiant struggle against the military’s human rights violations. She fought for democracy and the chance for her fellow Burmese citizens to live freely. Yet, a military coup has seized control of Myanmar, a small nation in Southeast Asia.
On the day of Angel’s death, 38 individuals were killed during protests, casualties of a regime that refuses to take responsibility for its brutal actions. Myanmar is a nation that needs our immediate attention in hopes of rectifying these grave injustices against its own people, who are fighting for the same democratic ideals we cherish in the United States.
Before the military coup in February, Myanmar had experienced a decade of relative democracy after enduring 49 years of military rule. On February 1, the military detained President Aung San Suu Kyi, and within days, they imposed severe restrictions on social media and communication channels. Internet access was restored briefly, but social media platforms, which were vital for organizing protests, remained blocked.
As reported by the BBC, since that fateful day, the military has killed over 400 protesters, including children, in a desperate attempt to stifle dissent and prevent the establishment of democracy. Disturbing accounts shared on platforms like Reddit reveal the extent of the horror: homes set ablaze with people inside, desperate civilians hiding their children from armed groups, and heart-wrenching pleas from families torn apart by violence.
Myanmar’s history is marred by discrimination and a deep-seated distrust of authority. The recent military coup has exacerbated these issues, leading to reports of widespread disappearances, brutal killings, and systematic cover-ups. The military has resorted to using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds, escalating to live ammunition when those methods proved ineffective.
For ten years, the people of Myanmar enjoyed a taste of freedom, only to see it snatched away by a corrupt military that has plunged them back into terror and repression. It took President Biden ten days to address the atrocities occurring in Myanmar. When he finally did, he emphasized financial consequences, announcing that the U.S. would withhold $1 billion in aid and impose strict export controls. He also signed executive orders targeting Myanmar’s military regime while maintaining support for healthcare and civil society groups benefiting the people directly.
Twelve days later, the UN Human Rights Council convened to address the crisis in Myanmar, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemning the military’s actions. He called for an immediate cessation of repression, the release of prisoners, and respect for human rights, urging the international community to hold the military accountable for its actions, including ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya population.
As young activists and professionals join the protests, Myanmar is grappling with immense turmoil. The parallels between their struggles and the lessons learned from political unrest in the United States are striking. Human rights are universal, and everyone deserves the basic right to safety without fear of retribution for their beliefs. The call for accountability and restoration of democracy in Myanmar is growing louder, and the international community must respond.
