What ignited your pursuit for gender equality?

Women leaders can rarely be seen in Myanmar, as most of the citizens do not accept women as leaders.

Please share your biggest wins as an advocate for gender equality.

I conducted sex education training to two high schools in Northern Shan State, Myanmar and organized an SDG awareness workshop for university students in Mandalay, Myanmar.

Outside of your gender equality advocacy work, what do you enjoy doing?

I like playing with babies and gardening.
