This event echoes the call made at the 30th<\/sup> UNI APRO Executive Committee Meeting in their statement on 20 April 2022<\/a>, which urged all international and regional businesses to enhance their business and human rights due diligence to ensure that they are not complicit in financing the junta to enable them to perpetrate gross human rights violations against the people of Myanmar.<\/p>\r\n

An inspiring story of resistance<\/strong> \u2013 Register here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

The fight for justice in Myanmar and how we can make sure that Australian companies and institutions aren\u2019t connected to human rights abuses.<\/p>\r\n

The Myanmar military seized control on 1 February 2021 after a general election which Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party won by a landslide. Myanmar trade unionists and everyday people have taken to the streets in an extraordinarily brave defiance of the violent regime. The Myanmar government in exile has criticised Australia’s sovereign wealth fund (The Future Fund) for investing in several companies \u2014 including weapons manufacturers \u2014 that have done business with Myanmar’s military. Come along and hear about the inspiring story of resistance and how we can support justice in Myanmar.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
