By Simon Ingram - May 2017

In Myanmar, landmines and unexploded ordnance present a daily risk of injury or death for children

Nine of Myanmar’s 14 States and Regions are contaminated with landmines and explosive remnants of war both from ongoing and past conflicts.

Children in Myanmar, especially those in remote border areas, continue to suffer the consequences of protracted crises, inter-communal conflict and discrimination. In Rakhine State, inter-communal violence that erupted in 2012 continues to plague 120,000 internally displaced people (IDP), primarily women and children, spread across 40 camps or informal sites, and host communities.

Building the relations with parliamentarians for children in Kachin: Champions for children’s rights

The first part of the workshop focussed on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), specific child rights concerns in Kachin and Parliament’s role as champions for children’s rights. UNICEF’s Child Protection Team then zoomed in on one key concern for children in Kachin - Mine Action Awareness.

Yangon, Myanmar, January 2015: He entered the empty, austere room shyly. His eyes facing the floor, as if afraid of my voice and presence. I introduced myself and clumsily attempted to put a few words together in Burmese. Almost immediately, he looked straight into my eyes and greeted me with a big smile. That smile stayed on the entire time we spent together talking and conjuring up his childhood memories.

“The world changes with your example, not with your opinions”: that’s what I found written on a wall somewhere during a trip in Central America. I was still a student, my last year of University. And that sentence contributed to inspiring all the following steps I’ve taken. That’s why probably it came back to my mind today, entering the compound of Myitkyina University.
