( 1 ) A work coordination meeting on organizing
Myanmar women's held
Yangon, 20 Sept - A work coordination meeting on
organizing Myanmar women's endeavours exhibition was
held at Zeyathiri Beikman in Konmyinttha here this
morning, with an address by Patron of Myanmar National
Committee for Women's Affairs Secretary-1 of the State
Peace and Development Council General Khin Nyunt.
The General also said Myanmar has taken part more
actively for progress of the women's sector after it
attended the Fourth World Women's Conference which was
held in Beijing.
Since the time of the forefathers, Myanmar women have
enjoyed equal rights with men. Sharing the
responsibilities and opportunities together with men,
they have also taken part in all the sectors together
with men.
In accord with the teachings of the Theravada Buddhism
and the traditions and culture, the women of Myanmar
have been held in esteem by the nation since yore.
As the Myanmar women have fully enjoyed their rights
since time immemorial, they do not need to demand any
special rights. But Myanmar attended the Beijing
Conference with the aim of extending their
participation in the international women's sector.
There are no big problems concerning the act of
violence against women. There are only very few
complaints filed against small problems arising from
family affairs. The Women's Affairs Committees at
different levels have been solving the family problems
through consolation, education and legal protections.
Some problems occurred in the border areas due to
young women who entered some neighbouring countries to
find jobs there. Job and economic opportunities for
women are flourishing in Myanmar at present. But some
who fell victim to the tricks and lies of unscrupulous
persons, and went to work illegally in the
neighbouring countries were facing troubles. Thus, the
activities of the women's sector have been accelerated
in the border areas. Not long ago, an anti-Myanmar
group taking refuge in a neighbouring country launched
slanderous accusations against Myanmar concerning the
Myanmar women's sector with the intention of breaking
up the national unity.
Thus, a work committee was formed, and the personnel
concerned of the respective working groups have toured
the border regions, holding discussions with local
women, and educating and organizing them. Recently,
members of the MNCWA were able to meet and save young
women from facing troubles abroad. The MNCWA members
saved the young women from falling into the trap of
the unscrupulous persons through educative and
organizational means.
The MNCWA and its branches at all levels are making
efforts systematically and actively with goodwill to
prevent women from facing troubles, to enable them to
fully enjoy their rights and to protect them under the
existing laws. Plans are under way to hold the
Exhibition on Myanmar Women's Endeavours with the aim
of highlighting the undertakings leading to develop
the women's sector and of informing the international
community about the endeavours.
Arrangements will have to be made to spotlight the
endeavours of the women. Thus, all the committees at
different levels and the departments concerned are
urged to make harmonious efforts for the successful
holding of the exhibition on a grand scale.
Then, Minister Maj-Gen Sein Htwa reported on work
being done for the exhibition. Leader of working group
for display Director of the National Museum of the
Department of Cultural Institute Daw Nu Mya Zan
reported on arrangements of booths including the
central exhibition booth and booths showing the
activities of MNWCWA and respective groups.
Then, Secretary of the leading committee
Director-General U Sit Myaing of the Social Welfare
Department reported on opening ceremony of the
exhibition, erecting billboards marking the
exhibition, hanging flags commomerating the exhibition
and designating the duration of the exhibition. Those
present also discussed matters related to the display

Then, Secretary-1 General Khin Nyunt inspected the
blueprints of the central exhibition booth and other
booths, scale models of archways, sample designs of
billboards and sculptures and handy crafts of women
and gave necessary instructions. Afterwards, Patron of
