Burmese government security forces killed, beat, tortured, and violently dispersed peaceful protesters including monks. In the ensuing crackdown, Burmese courts sentenced hundreds of political activists and monks to long prison terms, some as long as 65 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/523747a5e4b0bfc1675bd7b4/1383318459321-5877USWFVCOOHRXWE0C3/ASSK_profile.jpg Exiled: Burma's Defenders - Aung San Suu Kyi Aung San Suu Kyi is a Burmese politician and leader of the National League for Democracy in Burma, which won a resounding victory in November 2015 nationwide elections.

There are currently an estimated two million migrant workers from Burma living in Thailand. Many Burmese migrant workers in Thailand suffered as forced laborers in Burma. The Burmese army has used forced labor to build roads, act as “porters” for the military, to build infrastructure, to maintain bases, and to serve troops and patrols. Women are subject to sexual violence, and the military literally “lives” off the civilian population as it travels, taking whatever it needs and conscripting civilian labor as it goes. Villagers receive no pay, must supply their own food, and are threatened with imprisonment should they refuse to participate. Porters have been beaten and killed when they tire under their heavy burdens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/523747a5e4b0bfc1675bd7b4/1380681149908-I9NDYGPJWMOV92UIFZ1J/MaeSot_Day3_Cnt96_Fr11.jpg Exiled: Burma's Defenders Kyaw Htet, 22, is a former motorcycle mechanic in Prome.

Until recently, many of the children were miners themselves, or working in the industry in some way. Because children are physically unable to do the heavy labor required in the mines, they support their parents by helping to carry heavy baskets of rocks and then breaking them, or by cooking and doing porter jobs around the mines. Without intervention and education, children who work as part of the mining ecosystem inevitably end up as miners.

The parents of these students work in the mines carved into hillsides just outside the mountain hilltop school. Until recently, many of the children were miners themselves, or working in the industry in some way. Because children are physically unable to do the heavy labor required in the mines, they support their parents by helping to carry heavy baskets of rocks and then breaking them, or by cooking and doing porter jobs around the mines. Without intervention and education, children who work as part of the mining ecosystem inevitably end up as miners.

In 2012, Dr. Mukwege gave a speech at the United Nations condemning the lack of accountability for rape in Congo, openly criticizing the international community, armed groups, and the Congolese government. In 2012, Dr. Mukwege survived an assassination attempt during which his bodyguard was killed. He and his family fled Congo, but returned in 2012 to continue his work at Panzi Hospital, where he and his colleagues provide medical and psychological care for thousands of survivors of rape.     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/523747a5e4b0bfc1675bd7b4/1481213534579-TOJCSVVWW122IUGPTJ15/18_3monks_eyesclosed_hr.jpg Impact A group of monks pray. Left to right: Ashin Sopaka, Ashin Issariya, known as King Zero, and U Teza. September 2007 saw the largest popular protests against military rule in Burma in nearly 20 years, as monks left the relative safety of their monasteries to lead street protests, which came to be known as the Saffron Revolution. Burmese government security forces killed, beat, tortured, and violently dispersed peaceful protesters including monks. In the ensuing crackdown, Burmese courts sentenced hundreds of political activists and monks to long prison terms, some as long as 65 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/523747a5e4b0bfc1675bd7b4/1481213569566-VGAN58C2E5E8AJHWHL8V/20_POffice_Cnt20_Fr9.jpg Impact Jacqueline Rayos (R), and Mayra Lovatos, both pictured here at age 11, are cousins and US citizens. But Jacqueline's mother and Mayra's aunt, Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos--who is undocumented-- was arrested in 2008 in a raid conducted by Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County and eventually put into deportation proceedings. After a public campaign by the immigrant advocacy group Puente, Guadalupe was granted a one-year stay of removal. Jacqueline and Mayra were photographed after a protest organized by Puente Arizona in front of Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 29, 2013, a few days after Guadalupe's stay was granted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/523747a5e4b0bfc1675bd7b4/1481213259556-XS3CHAH73R9QVTG4JZ42/unnamed.jpg Impact Anastasia Smirnova is an activist with the Russian LGBT Network, an interregional NGO that promotes equal rights and respect for human dignity, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
