Starting Point

Ms. Saw Mi was involved in conflict prevention and worked at the DHIP Chin Women’s Organisation in Myanmar. She actively contributed to resolving injustices and supporting women facing challenges in their marriages, family matters, and economic difficulties. She also provided significant assistance in conflict-affected areas. 

In performing her role, she looked upon her high school teacher, who is a founding member of the organisation she worked for. As she successfully carried out her duty, she earned great respect and following her guidance, the organisation has reached its current status. The organisation is engaged in providing psychological support for women who have experienced sexual violence, raising awareness in the community to prevent the social ostracism of survivors, and educating the locals to assist the displaced people.

Peace Journey

She contributed to the peace process by actively participating in the sector that supports women. In her work for women's safety, she was driven by the belief that injustices would be resolved and that the truth would ultimately prevail. She stands as a source of support for underprivileged women. Not only engaging for the cause of women, but she has also been involved in mediating and resolving domestic issues, to alleviate the impact on children who are caught in their family’s difficult situations. She has committed herself to continuing and expanding these efforts. 

In one of the recent cases of child rape that her organisation handle, although the perpetrators are not effectively prosecuted due to a lack of the rule of law, but the organisation has been able to support and protect the survivors.

Success Stories

Furthermore, she stated that one of the highlights of her success is that when women seek her help, she can provide support with sincerity, dedication and pleasure. In her region, there are now opportunities for women to become more involved through the organisation. 

Additionally, in her area, women do not face the same challenges as men in peace processes. So, as a woman, she has more advantages in taking part in the process. She believes a profound effect can be achieved if women are more involved in mediation.
