attempted the coup on 1st February 2021; the people of Myanmar
are still against the dictatorial system with various forms of
resistance like non-violent ways as well as armed revolution.
Women are being killed every day due to grave human rights
violations committed by military terrorist. Thus, the presented data
are monitored and collected on reliable media by the Burmese
Women's Union (BWU). The actual figures could be higher on the
ground due to the challenges and limitations of free-flow
information, as BWU faces numerous obstacles and challenges in
accessing data and information.
Due to BWU's data monitoring from various reliable media, (67) women
were killed from 1st -30th June 2024 across the country. Among them, (44)
women died in the military airstrike, (16) women lost their lives due to
