The Burma Campaign UK is one of the leading organisations campaigning for human rights and democracy in Burma. We play a crucial role in coordinating the international campaign for democracy in Burma. We work closely with the Burmese democracy movement in Burma and in exile.
 
Our work campaigning against human rights abuses in Burma would be impossible without support from the public. The people of Burma can’t speak out without risking imprisonment, torture and even death. You can.
 
Please support Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Burma - donate to Burma Campaign UK and make a difference today.

About Us
 
 
 

We are an award winning organisation working for the promotion of human rights, democracy and development in Burma.

In working for these objectives we follow the policies of Burma’s democracy movement.

Founded in 1991, the Burma Campaign UK is one of the leading Burma campaign organisations in the world. We play a leading role in raising awareness about the situation in Burma, and pressuring the international community to take action in support of the people of Burma.

Key achievements
  • As part of a global campaign, we persuaded the United Nations Security Council to discuss Burma for the first time. The Security Council continues to be engaged on Burma.
       
  • We persuaded the British government to double aid to Burma, and to fund cross-border aid in order to reach ethnic people that the regime doesn’t allow aid to be delivered to.

       
  • We have generated thousands of stories about Burma in the media, ensuring the world does not ignore the crisis there.

       
  • We have persuaded many large multi-national companies to end their involvement in Burma.

       
  • We have met with the British Prime Minister, and many other senior politicians around the world, ensuring the message of Burma’s democracy movement is heard by global decision makers.

       
  • We provide support and training to Burmese exile organisations and individuals, building the capacity of people from Burma to speak out and influence the international community.
       
  • We help to coordinate and build Burma campaign groups worldwide, building a strong solidarity movement to help the people of Burma.

       
  • We are a small organisation dependent of public support. We do not receive any government funding. If you would like to support the Burma Campaign UK, click here
