Myanmar Junta Registering Women Ahead of Possible Conscription

Writer's picture: Saw Kyaw OoSaw Kyaw Oo

Myanmar’s regime has started the process of drafting women for military service by registering Yangon Region females.


In February last year, the junta dusted off the Conscription Law, requiring men aged 18-35 and single women 18-27 to serve in the military for a minimum of two years. The regime has since trained nine batches of male conscripts.


In mid-January the regime started compiling lists of eligible Yangon women, including in Hlaing Tharyar Township, Myanmar’s largest industrial zone where hundreds of thousands of women work in factories.
