  • From Military Patriarchy to Gender Equity: Including Women in the Democratic Transition in Burma The present transition of Burma, known as President Thein Sein�s initiative, has been started by the military regime in 2003 by seven-step road map. The recent development of current Burma is the last step of the roadmap. The entire design of the transition totally excluded the voice of women and lack of gender inclusion. Since after 2012 bi-election, people of Burma has been experienced the conflict that emerged from the violence in the form of communal ones along with the idea of nationalism. Now, such violence has come to reach the peak and individual rights of Buddhist women are being manipulated under this scenario.
