Faced with increasing state violence, young people across Myanmar are learning to fight. This is one young woman’s story
In the year since the 1 February coup, young people across Myanmar have risked their lives to resist military rule.
At least 295 young people aged 18-25 have been killed in the military’s suppression of the pro-democracy movement. More than 1,000 have been arrested, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners. In response, thousands have left their homes and families to train as revolutionary fighters.
