Please join us on March 2nd for the International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women of Burma.

The Nobel Women's Initiative and the Women's League of Burma are jointly convening this important event in New York City. Participants, and those watching the webcast, will hear the compelling testimony--for the first time ever--of 12 women from Burma who have suffered rape, torture and other crimes at the hands of the military junta. The stories they share will represent thousands of other untold stories from across Burma. Stories of fear, anguish, resistance, escape, perseverance and hope for change.
