Knowing the right information of developing countries

Seoul YWCA is implementing the special lecture! It is called 'Knowing the right information of developing countries (Myanmar)'

We had Ms. Khin Myo Thaw on 4th, December for the first lecture.
She is the economic counselor of Myanmar Embassy.

The subject of lecture was 'Myanmar and Myanmar women'
Thanks to Bockhee,Lee (the chair person of World fellowship department committee) with her interpretation, we could had the lecture deeply.

Ms. Khin Myo Thaw let us know the fact of Myanmar and the gender equality in Myanmar. According to UNESCO survey, UNESCO has described Myanmar as one of the countries in Asia which has the highest ratio of female researchers in the field of science, with 70 out of 100 researchers being women.

For improving women empowerment, Myanmar is now committed to CEDAW and creating of a dedicated Gender Equality & Women’s Empowerment Sector Working Group.

Women’s empowerment in Myanmar has improved in key ways, but there is still work to be done. Because of the long history of patriarchal societies engrained in cultures across the globe, progress toward women’s empowerment is often slower than we would hope for it to be.

Second lecture will be lead by professor Cho. We welcome everyone who is interested in this topic.
