The Network for Human Rights Documentation – Burma Releases New Briefing Paper,
‘No One Feels Safe,’ on Human Rights Day

10 December 2025

On International Human Rights Day, the Network for Human Rights Documentation-Burma (ND-Burma) releases a new briefing paper, ‘No One Feels Safe,’ which details cases of airstrikes documented by members in Burma from July to October 2025. Aerial strikes continue to be a leading cause of death and injury for civilians who are routinely caught in the violent crossfire of the junta’s worsening attacks.

According to member data, our findings indicate that 272 airstrikes occurred in four States, including Chin State, Kachin State, Mon State, Shan State, and three regions, Mandalay, Magway and Tanintharyi, resulting in the deaths of 75 women, 72 men and 60 children, in addition to 31 of unknown identity killed. There were 88 wounded women, 158 wounded men and 80 injured children, as well as 117 of unknown identity. At least dozens of properties were damaged, including 554 houses, 13 schools, one hospital, four clinics, two churches, 35 monasteries, two private schools, and one nursery school.

Their ongoing documentation efforts are vital to gathering further evidence needed to hold the military junta accountable for their crimes.

“The junta is using airstrikes to spread fear among local people who are tired of the constant hardships in daily life in Burma. Those living in rural, conflict-affected areas face ongoing risks to their survival due to these airstrikes. Countries supplying weapons, including aviation fuel, are complicit in these attacks on innocent lives. Airstrikes are not only destroying homes and lives, but they are breaking the sense of safety that people are desperately trying to hold onto in their daily struggle to survive,” said Nai Aue Mon, Program Director at the Human Rights Foundation of Monland.

Reports from the Special Advisory Council for Myanmar (SAC-M) and the UN Special Rapporteur reveal that Russia, China, Singapore, Thailand, and India are the leading suppliers of weapons, dual-use technology, and manufacturing materials to the military junta, totalling over $1 billion since February 2021. Bombs are falling on innocent civilians, causing widespread horror and trauma. Survivors face ongoing suffering, losing their sense of humanity and mourning the deaths of friends, family, and community. Among those killed and wounded in airstrikes are overwhelmingly women and children, as they comprise the majority of those displaced throughout the country.

Human Rights Day is a stark reminder of how much work remains to establish the foundations of a free and just society in Burma. The coup attempt on 1 February 2021 continues to cast a shadow over a nation eager for change and democratic reform. Yet, it also highlights the extraordinary adversity and resilience demonstrated by the people who refuse to remain silent in the face of injustice and who remain dedicated to a future free from military rule.

The Network for Human Rights Documentation – Burma Releases
Under Attack: Women’s Peace and Security in Burma

on the 16-Day Campaign to End Gender Based Violence

25 November 2025

For Immediate Release

Today, the Network for Human Rights Documentation-Burma (ND-Burma) publishes its latest briefing paper, Under Attack: Women’s Peace and Security in Burma. Despite substantial challenges, women continue to resist patriarchal systems that seek to silence their calls for equality and justice for abuses committed against them. Each year, the global initiative 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence underscores the ongoing effort towards a gender-equal future. In Burma, the drive for gender-informed policies arises from decades of oppression that require urgent reform and change. Our latest analysis reveals that women face significant risks in the years since the failed coup, and urgent attention is needed to end military impunity.

This briefing paper highlights the worsening crisis in women’s peace and security during the 16 Days Campaign Against Gender-Based Violence. Based on desk research and member data, our findings emphasize the urgent need for support for victims and survivors of various forms of violence.

Patriarchal norms in Burma have historically challenged women’s rights. Additionally, the severe humanitarian crisis following the 2021 military coup, along with ongoing gender-based violence—including arbitrary arrests, movement restrictions, limited resource access, and other violations—continues to undermine women’s safety. Current obstacles, such as the ongoing conflict, forced conscription, and the upcoming sham election, further threaten women. The militarization of Burma’s various States and Regions has created such hardship that no area is safe from the risk of indiscriminate attacks.

Civil society organizations have long played a key role in documenting human rights abuses and truth-telling efforts. Justice remains delayed for victims and survivors of the military junta’s brutal attacks on civilians. These attacks have persisted for decades, and following the failed coup, demands for accountability must translate into tangible actions to break the cycle of impunity.

Furthermore, our members demand an immediate end to all forms of violence against women and call for increased visibility and attention to the 16 Days Campaign. The international community must take coordinated action and heed the decades-long calls of women’s groups to ensure the protection and promotion of rights for all.
