Evidence Collection, Analysis, and Sharing
Since the major socio-political shifts in 2021, ASJ has prioritized monitoring and recording impacts on communities across Myanmar. We have collected detailed testimonies and reports from affected individuals and witnesses across all regions, including Yangon, Mandalay, Bago, Magway, Sagaing, Tanintharyi, Chin, Kayin, and Kayah. This extensive body of evidence is pivotal for supporting efforts toward justice and accountability for all citizens.
Our approach is grounded in direct and confidential engagement with affected individuals. Through in-depth interviews, we capture their experiences and the challenges they have endured. This evidence is critical for raising awareness, supporting formal mechanisms for justice, and advocating for social equity on both national and international stages.
We adhere to stringent protocols for data sharing, ensuring that our information is exclusively provided to qualified legal and judicial authorities involved in formal proceedings. To protect the security and safety of our interviewees and to honor our commitments to confidentiality, we do not release our data publicly. However, we may selectively share certain elements of our findings to encourage more affected individuals to come forward and share their experiences, thereby amplifying the call for justice and community well-being.
The Significance of Our Research
Advocating for Social Equity in Myanmar
Our research plays a crucial role in shedding light on the social equity challenges occurring in Myanmar. By meticulously recording the impacts on communities, we provide the evidence needed to support pathways toward justice and accountability. This research not only informs international bodies and policymakers but also empowers local communities by giving them a voice and the tools to participate in their future. The impact of our work is profound, as it helps to raise awareness, drive constructive policy changes, and ultimately, improve the lives of those affected by these challenges.
