SUMMARY:Photo Exhibition “Women Out on the Streets for a New Burma”
DESCRIPTION:Since 1 February 2021\, Myanmar has been in turmoil as the Myanmar army\, known as the Tatmadaw\, detained State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint following a general election which Suu Kyi’s NLD party won by a landslide. The coup d’état led by General Min Aung Hlaing brought an end to a decade of semi-democratic rule and returned full power to the military. Courageously\, the population has been resisting and demanding the release of the imprisoned leaders and the restoration of democratic rule. A massive civil disobedience movement has emerged and hundreds of thousands continue to take to the streets in spite of the military’s use of lethal force against protesters. \nWomen have been an integral part of the protest\, often being on the frontline of the movement in spite of the danger of being killed\, wounded\, arrested\, tortured and the increased risk of sexual harassment and violence. As the New York Times wrote in March “By the hundreds of thousands\, the women have gathered for daily marches\, representing striking unions of teachers\, garment workers and medical workers — all sectors dominated by women”. Women challenge the dictatorship as well as the patriarchal norms\, misogyny and sexism rooted at its core. The idea of impurity of women and their relegation to the domestic domain has been confronted by exposing “feminine” attributes in public. For instance\, as the exhibition photos show\, during protest women proudly carried bras and sanitary pads. Other photos also document the display of women’s drying htamain or longyi (sarong)\, which traditionally is believed to harm men’s hpon (mystical power)\, thus lowering the “masculine status of the security force”. \nThe photo exhibition\, organized by SEA Junction in collaboration with the Women’s League of Burma\, the Myanmar Project and Asia Justice and Rights\, documents women’s actions out on the streets of Burma since the coup d’état. Lasting from 23 November to 5 December\, the exhibition showcases photos taken by a collective of recent graduates in journalism in Burma who have been covering the protests from all around the country under the umbrella of Myanmar Project as well as photos collected by the member institutions of the Women’s League of Burma. Together\, the collection shows how wide-spread\, diverse and empowering women leadership and participation has been and continue to be in opposition to the Tatmadaw. \nThe exhibition will be launched with an online event to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and kick off 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. The event will be held on 25 November at 4.00-5.30 pm (Bangkok Time) via Zoom (Link: https://bit.ly/ExhibitionLaunch-25NOV) and Facebook Live on SEA-Junction page. \nVirtual Launch of Photo Exhibition  \nSpeakers \n\nAung Myo Min\, Minister of Human Rights\, the National Unity Government of Myanmar\nNaw Susanna Hla Hla Soe\, Minister of Women\, Youths and Children Affairs\, the National Unity Government of Myanmar\nNang Moet Moet\, Joint General Secretary 1\, the Women’s League of Burma\nKhin Ohmar\, Founder and Chair of Progressive Voice\n\nModerator \n\nRosalia Sciortino\, Founder and Executive Director\, SEA Junction\n\nDiscussant \n\nDebbie Stothard\, Founder and Coordinator\, ALTSEAN-Burma\n\nQ&A session \n \nFor information/reservation for our events\, please email southeastasiajunction@gmail.com or phone: +66970024140 \nNB: Events are free\, but donations are most welcome! \nOrganizers: \nSEA Junction \nSEA Junction\, established under the Thai non-profit organization Foundation for Southeast Asia Studies (ForSEA)\, aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions\, from arts and lifestyles to economy and development.

SUMMARY:Dialogue Forum 6 “From Paris to Glasgow\, COP 26 and Implications on Climate Policies” (in Thai)
DESCRIPTION:In August\, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) launched the first part of its periodical Sixth Assessment Report or AR6 to assess the state of the world’s climate. The UN’s top post\, Antonio Guterres\, called it\, “a code red for humanity”. Besides stark and stunning sets of information that wake people up to the climate reality and its impacts that could last for centuries\, the report has also painted a shocking picture on the rising temperature\, pointing that if nothing is done the world could pass the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold in the next 20 years! \nAccording to the UNFCCC’s latest update on the voluntary cuts on GHGs known as Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs\, the world is still on a catastrophic pathway to 2.4C by the end of this century. To limit the rise to 1.5C\, a 45 per cent cut in emissions is needed by 2030 and zero emissions by 2050. The commitments by countries to date\, the organisation noted\, imply an increase of 14 per cent in GHG emissions\, on a contrary. Other sticking points concern adaptation and financing\, under which $ 100 billion a year for “climate action” in developing countries is needed\, as well as funding for adaptation to at least 50 per cent of total public climate finance expenditure.   \nThe adaptation costs in the developing world are estimated at around $70 billion a year\, and they could rise as much as $300 billion by 2030.  Countries have reached the deal at COP26 with an introduction of Glasgow Climate Pact. It remains to be seen what the implications of the pact would be like. \nThe Dialogue Forum\, which opens a space for such critical discussion\, therefore\, would cordially like to invite you to explore the new deal as well as its implications for countries like Thailand at Dialogue 6 (Year 2): From Paris to Glasgow\, COP 26 and Implications on Climate Policies as part of the climate forum series on 2 December 2021 from 12.15 pm-2.30 pm via Zoom. \n**Please register and confirm your Zoom participation ahead of the event: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEkc-qqrzorGtIxzUMWo5QKuQYIOvU4OKcE.
