Barriers to women’s political participation in Tanintharyi, Myanmar

From 7-9 September 2020 the Global Research Network on Parliaments and People held a symposium about democracy in Myanmar and Ethiopia. In this webinar presentation Nu Nu Hlaing explains how her organisation, Tavoyan Women’s Union, explored the barriers to women’s leadership in Myanmar’s Tanintharyi region, in their GRNPP-funded project. Using a mixed methods approach to do the research, she tells us how they disseminated their findings in accessible ways – working with artist Min Arkar Htet to produce cartoons as well as making a short film. You can watch her presentation or read the research report on their findings below.
