Forced to Enlist: The Impacts of Military Conscription in Southeastern Burma

Report

(12.02.2025) This report, Forced to Enlist: The Impact of Military Conscription in Southeastern Burma, will provide a detailed analysis of widespread human rights abuses perpetrated by the military, focusing specifically on the Mon, Karen, and Tanintharyi regions—areas where the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) has extensively documented the impact of these practices in Southern Burma. Among these violations, the enforcement of a forced conscription law has emerged as a brutal tool of control, primarily targeting young men and women across the country.

How you helped us, ordinary people, to stop this war

(20.01.2025) My name is Max Kresch, I’m 28 years old. I was a combat soldier, and I refused to continue serving in this unjust war in Gaza. Today I wanted to thank you for helping me and my friends, hundreds of soldiers who refused fighting, to force the Israeli government to stop this war.
