Survival

Women political prisoners who face abuse, loneliness and traumatic experiences still strive to confront these difficulties with bravery, courage and strength.

Dr. Khin Mar Kyi explains how she survived:

“- I tried my best to keep my spirits high. If and when released, I had many things to do, so I did my best to maintain my health. - - The main strength is spiritual strength. I didn't do anything wrong. I am right. I work for the majority. I do it so that all people will have human rights. What I do is not wrong -this spirit always leads me. All Burmese citizens must enjoy human rights fully. It’s true that I am very happy. But, as my wings were clipped, I am not able to fly like my happiness. So, I am not able to enjoy the ultimate happiness yet. -“
