DESCRIPTION:“Women and the Kachin Conflict.” Guest Speaker: S. Hkawng Naw\,
 &nbsp\;Executive Master of Public Administration Graduate Student\, Maxwel
 l School\, Syracuse University. &nbsp\;Women and children are suffering th
 e most in the armed conflict in the northern part of Myanmar. Beginning in
  2011\, the armed conflict emerged between the Burmese government army and
  the Kachin Independent Army (KIA)\, which ended a seventeen-year ceasefir
 e. Due to the conflict\, there are more than a hundred thousand people dis
 placed\, the majority of whom are women and children. In the conflict\, ma
 ny Kachin women experience sexual violence\, including rape-murder by the 
 Burmese army\, and they are forgotten victims. Moreover\, lack of refugee 
 protection and shortages of humanitarian aid have become significant new p
 ush factors driving human trafficking to China. It has been difficult for 
 Kachin activists and civil society groups to lobby and advocate through th
 e UN and the international community to find justice for these victims.&nb
 sp\;Conversations in Conflict Studies is a weekly educational speaker seri
 es for students\, faculty\, and the community. The series\, sponsored by P
 ARCC\, draws its speakers from Syracuse University faculty\, national and 
 international scholars and activists\, and PhD students. Pizza is served.
