Begun in Chiang Mai, these women-only spaces became very popular and were replicated along the Thai-Myanmar border. Today, migrant and refugee women from Myanmar of different ethnicities, ages, and occupations meet monthly in different areas called “Women Exchange,” these forums have become a network of information that can be spread throughout the migrant community and inform donors, researchers, and policy makers of the situation on the ground. While each WE organizes a committee to run itself, MAP provides financial assistance, trainings, and resources to facilitate capacity building on a range of topics, including sexual and reproductive health rights, living wage, women economic rights, and leadership development.

"...This thesis consists out of seven chapters. The next chapter on theory will address important political
and theoretical debates within the arena of displacement and refugee studies. Chapter three will
present the methodological approach taken within the research.
Chapters four and five are the data chapters of this thesis addressing various layers of insecurities
through thematic chapters. The chapters are based on the most important themes that arose during
fieldwork. How young Shan women first reacted to state terror, and the impact of this on their daily
lives, is highlighted in chapter four. Chapter five will explain what it means to be a young Shan
female, revealing the daily life practices and the influences they have on life chances and future
aspirations. Finally, I shall conclude by referring to the debates discussed within the theory chapter.
The key words of this research are displacement, young female Shan refugees, future aspirations and
human (in)security..."
