Walking Amongst Sharp Knives
This report from the Karen Women’s Organisation reveals previously unreported abuses taking place against ethnic Karen women in Burma.
The practice of the Burmese Army to execute village heads has led to traditional Karen culture being turned upside-down, with women now being appointed village chiefs as they are seen as less likely to be killed. However, this change has put women in the frontline of human rights abuses. These abuses constitute crimes against humanity and war crimes.
