" Welcome to Chin Human Rights Organization Chin Human Rights Organization is working to protect and promote the rights of the Chin people." Violation of the rights of women and children, forced labour, political suppression, racial discrimination religious persecu-tions committed by the Burmese military regime results thousands of Chin to flee from their home country. CHRO aims: * To promote Human Rights and democratic principles among Chin people. * To empower the people, especially the victims of human rights violations, who have been suffering so long under the Burmese military regime; * To provide accurate and reliable information about human rights situation in Chin state and western part of Burma to the international community. The Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO) was established in 1995, and registered as not for profit organization in Canada as it is impossible to legally register in Burma or its neighboring countries India or Bangladesh. As part of its efforts to restore democracy and human rights to Burma, the CHRO has been independently documen-ting human rights violations perpetrated by Burma's military regime against the Chin of Burma. Abuses such as racial discrimination, forced labour, rape, and religious persecution are commonplace for the Chin as well as many other peoples in Burma. CHRO produces a news bulletin six times a year, which is disseminated to human rights institutions and individual supporters around the world. Accordingly, CHRO has become a key advocate internationally for the support of the Chins and people from Western Burma, those living in Burma as well as those living as refugees in other countries."
