According to Burmese tradition, women are seen as weak, and parents themselves are many worried concerned with their daughters. Behavior traffic due to Myanmar’s cultural traditions, which have many restrictions on behavior, girls have few opportunities to be equal to boys.
Today, it was only when there was a move that became transparent that women regardless of gender had equal rights. Regardless of the changes, for those already steeped in Burmese traditions, girls are still physically separated from boys.
During the Spring Revolution protests against the military coup, it was easy for the genders to work together, but when the girls had to choose to join the armed struggle against the terrorist army, the girls faced big changes. challenges; they had to overcome all the difficulties they encountered in a harsh environment. Being away from parents and relatives, they had to face many personal difficulties that could not be predicted.
The women who were present during the armed revolution were also ingrained in the men, because of the unknowing gender discrimination practice of being gentle on girls, women PDF was appointed in office groups like the medical team. However, girls who have received military education and want to fight on the front line are trying to get a chance to go to the front line without giving up.
According to the photographs of the frontline journey of the PDF women from the YPDF Division-2 of the Yaw Region People’s Defense Force, it is seen that the strength of the PDF women who are armed with heavy weapons has increased. In the past, women PDF were mostly placed in Sniper squads and drone units, but they are also being placed in heavy weapons groups because comrades become aware of their capabilities.
Sagaing Division the Tiger Khin Sein (T.G.R) women’s drone unit based in Myaung district often makes Inaga bombs on days off from fighting, and they are female PDF comrades who are relentlessly working for the revolution. It is true that the Drone Team in Sagaing Division is very reliable.
During the Spring Revolution, women are equal to men on the frontline. It has been seen everywhere in the revolution, including rear support and other activities.
The responsibility for the empowerment of women, as they are participating in the revolution on an equal basis with men, in the future, in building a new nation, they must pay special attention not to discriminate between genders. Women must always remember the good revolutionary milestones of being able to provide multifaceted service to the country.
