Residents in multiple townships across Yangon Region, Taungoo Township in Bago Region, and Mawlamyine in Mon State have expressed growing concerns over junta efforts to gather lists of women beyond the official military service age. The collection process, conducted by military-backed ward administration offices, has raised fears of potential forced conscription, locals told Mizzima.


Authorities have been compiling data on both eligible and over-age women in Yangon’s Thaketa, Tamwe, Thanlyin, and North Okkalapa townships, as well as in several villages of Taungoo and Mawlamyine townships.
