In the Tatmadaw

In February 2024, the Tatmadaw announced that it would begin enforcing conscription, with all women between the ages of 18 and 27 forced to serve at least two years in the military.^[13] On International Women's Day 2024, eight Burmese women's organisations, including the Women's League of Burma, condemned the move, saying that conscription violated human rights, especially those of Burmese youth, and expressed concerns over gendered violence that conscripted women would face.^[14] Despite originally stating that it would begin conscripting women in the fifth round of conscription, the junta began cosncripting women in some regions in the third round, in May 2024.^[15]
