Can Myanmar ever be peaceful when the majority Burma are blind to the discrimination suffered by the ethnic minorities, who are estimated to make up a third of the country’s population? May Sabe Phyu, born from a Bamar father and ethnic minority mother, delivers a powerful, personal talk on the double discrimination she suffers as a woman and an ethnic minority. May Sabe Phyu is a passionate and committed advocate for women’s rights and gender equality in Myanmar. She works actively in the areas of the prevention of violence against women, law reform, and women's engagement to bring peace. Her determination in the face of adversity - political opposition, widely held and rigid views about women's roles, and personal risk - inspire others to push for government policy changes and to join collective actions to recognize and realize women’s right to live in peace. She is the Director of the Gender Equality Network, a coalition of more than 130 organizations collaborating to advocate for women’s rights to end discrimination against women and ethnic and religious minorities. She also co-founded the Kachin Peace Network and Kachin Women Peace Network to raise awareness of the human cost of conflict and to advocate for peace and reconciliation. The US Secretary of the State John Kerry honored her International Women of Courage Award in March 2015.
