Myanmar’s military must stop using sexual and gender-based violence to terrorize and punish ethnic minorities, according to a new report released on Thursday [22 August 2019] by the United Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission.
OCHA / Vincent Tremeau | In March 2018, 19-year-old Setera fled Hormara village in Myanmar’s Bochidong after she “saw military people throwing bombs and raping women”.
