No More Exiles: Voice of Resistance
I was forcibly displaced from my ancestral homeland, Myanmar, during my early childhood because of genocidal violence, institutionalized discrimination, and ethnic persecution against the Rohingya population. I witnessed devastating humanitarian suffering, mass displacement, fear, and the destruction of countless families and communities. Many women endured violence, exploitation, and severe trauma during the conflict, while children were deprived of safety, education, and stability. One memory I will never forget is witnessing a woman giving birth in the darkness of the jungle while families were fleeing for survival. That painful moment became a lasting symbol of human vulnerability, suffering, and resilience amid violence and uncertainty. These experiences profoundly transformed my understanding of injustice and strengthened my determination to advocate for truth, dignity, and accountability.
