“At around 10:30 am, the weapons were coming from Kaung Wine village. It came through above the village. There was no fighting. We don’t know why they were firing weapons. It hit 3-4 homes. Myanmar Tatmadaw should be behind this because they are in Kaung Wine area”, said Mai Naw Jar, a villager.

The homes damaged belong to U Tun Maung, U Aik Rain, U Nyi Mao and U Pu Lwe Kyaung. According to U Pu Lwe’s sister, Ei Man, U Pu Lwe’s house was damaged on the roof, kitchen, Buddha house and bedroom.

About Us

Ta’ang Women’s Organization (TWO) was established in Mae Sot, Thailand, in 2000, under the name ‘Palaung Women’s Organization’ (PWO). At the time, women were not actively participating in other Ta’ang organizations due to widely held misconceptions about women’s unsuitability that restricted their access to training, education, skills-building, and leadership roles. PWO’s mandate was to remove some of these barriers and empower women to achieve equality in their communities.
