အေမသို႕

ေတြးေလတိုင္းလည္း လြြမ္းမေၿပ
ေဆြးေလတို္င္းလည္း လြမ္းမ်က္ရည္
ခိုကာစီးဆင္းခဲ့ၿပီေပါ့ ငါ့မ်က္ဝန္းအိမ္။

ေမ်ွာ္ကာေငးေတာ့ ေဝးၿပီေလ
ေက်ပါေစေတာ့ မိုက္ၿပစ္ေတြ
စိေႏၱဘုရားမွာ ေတာင္း ဆုေခၽြ။

ေတာင္ေၿမာက္မ်က္ႏွာ ဘယ္ဆီမွာ
မွန္းဆေမ်ွာ္ရည္ တိုင္းဌာနီ
ေရႊၿပည္ေတာ္ ေမွ်ာ္ေလတုိင္းေဝးခဲ့ၿပီ အေမ။

The situation of women in Kachin State

Diaplacement and gender differences
Displacement and resettlement from dam projects affect women differently than men. Dis-
placement breaks up existing communities and extended family networks; because women tend
to be less mobile than men, the breakdown of family, village and social units affects them much more severely. Once resettled, the greater mobility of men makes it easier for them
to seek waged work in towns or alternative jobs as compared to women.

In his study for the World Commission on Dams, Marcus Colchester writes that after resettleme-
nt: "Overall, incomes declined, gathered foods became sdarcer and firewood hard to find. The women found it hard to carry on their traditional weaving and basketry, as they had lost access
to forests from which to collect the materials........ Compensation, which should have been paid to both men and women as co-owners of the land, was only paid to male heads of household.
Some husbands abandoned wives,taking the money and setting up house with other women.
In some cases womenheaded hoouseholds, widows for example, were excluded from compen-
sation.

The World Bank also acknowledges that women are harder hit by resettlement than men since
they are more likely to earn their living from small businesses lacated at or near their residen-
ces. Women may also be affected disproportionately in rural areas since they are more often
dependent on common property resources.

Risks for women

Sexual violence by Burma Army troops
Sexual violence committed by Burma Army troops against women in ethnic areas has been documented in many reports. The vast majority of rapes committed by Burma Army soldiers go
uninvestigated and perpetrators are not charged. This was true of soldiers providing security for
the Lawpita hydropower project in Karenni State.

In February 2007 four school girls aged 14-1116 were gang-raped by three army officers and
four soldiers in Putao in northern Kachin State. The girls were sentenced for prostitution and only releasd after the case caused international outcry. No details are available about whether the alleged rapists were charged.In the current atmosphere of impunity and state-sanctioned
violence against women, there is grave concern for the safety of local women in the project
area following increased deployment of soldiers to ensure security of the dam.

Tomorrow's World

How Will the Earth Be Restored?
An environmental crisis of global proporations is threatening the continued exisstece of life on this earth. New laws, new teachnologies and international treaties will not solve the problem. While governments dither, mankind is running out of precious time to make the necessary changes. Experts estimate that, if present trends continue, we have only 30 to 50 years before major areas
of the world could become uninhabitable!
Sadly, the true cause of our environmental crisis is either ignored or unrecognized, and the
real solutions are overlooked. We need to understand why this global environmental crisis has
developed, how it will be resolved, and the role we can play in restoring the earth.
