Listing of Conscription-Age Women Spreads Across Myanmar

Myanmar’s junta continues to list conscription-age women despite its denials that it is planning to draft females for military service.

A Thingangyun Township resident in Yangon told The Irrawaddy: “A junta official visited our home last Friday and said my niece-in-law was listed for women’s conscription.”

The family said they are preparing to pay to have her name removed from the list.
