Overview
Human rights awareness is an essential first ingredient in building a movement for political change and, more importantly, bringing lasting justice and equality. When people know and understand their rights they value their lives and desire a more meaningful existence. Human Rights Education empowers communities to demand dignity and encourages people to participate in defining what justice and equality mean in practical terms.
Equality Myanmar (EQMM) is a leading nongovernmental organization that organises a wide range of human rights education and advocacy programs, the documentation human rights violations, and provides emergency support for activists, human rights defenders, and their families. We work with a range of local civil society organizations, educators, activists, various local actors, and our programs and activities reach all states and regions in Myanmar.
Equality Myanmar stands strong for professional commitment, despite the organization having faced a critical situation in 2021 due to the political crisis.
