台北講座|除了詐騙,還有誰在緬甸邊境:活在夾縫裡的緬甸流亡社群 4 Years of Resistance and Hope: How We Can Support Myanmar’s Exiled Human Rights Defenders?
——————English Below—————— 想到緬甸邊境,你會想到什麼?旅行?詐騙?國際志工?難民?移工? 早在2011年緬甸民主改革之前,「邊境」就一直是緬甸公民社會的重要庇護所與活動空間——尋求庇護者、異議人士、無國籍者、難民、移民⋯⋯他們大多因政治、種族、宗教迫害而逃離緬甸,在邊境找到自由的一絲夾縫。 2021年2月,緬甸軍方政變後,邊境再次作為公民社會的重要據點,卻面臨更多挑戰。近年愈發嚴重的詐騙集團人口販運、現代奴隸、組織犯罪等問題,更導致各國當局以「加強邊境安全」為由,加劇打壓尋求庇護者與公民活動的空間。 在這場講座裡,長期支持海外緬甸行動者的團體「Exile Hub」,將和我們分享緬甸政變 4 年來,身處邊境的緬甸人權捍衛者與組織的挑戰!台灣能在當中扮演什麼角色?我們可以如何支持緬甸公民社會?歡迎一起來交流! Despite the Myanmar junta’s ongoing reign of terror and political violence following the 2021 coup, civilians, human rights defenders (HRDs), and civil society organizations continue to resist, fighting for democracy and human rights while striving to end the junta’s illegal rule. However, as crackdowns intensify, many HRDs and journalists have been forced into exile to protect their lives and sustain their struggle. In exile, they face high-risk environments, uncertainty, and immense challenges, particularly in the borderlands. Even after crossing borders, they remain vulnerable to transnational repression, legal insecurity, and the daily struggle for survival due to a lack of legal status and resources. This event will feature Exile Hub, an organization dedicated to supporting Myanmar activists abroad. This event delves into the situations and difficulties facing HRDs working in high-risk environments, highlighting the resilience and determination of those who continue to resist despite extreme threats. Additionally, the speakers will discuss their experiences in supporting HRDs in urgent needs. Exile Hub was formed to support human rights defenders and media professionals facing immediate threats from the junta for their essential work. Since then, they have been a dedicated and reliable support system for media professionals and human rights defenders to safely carry on their professions. Exile Hub’s mission is to enable Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) to securely continue their professions and amplify the voices that contribute to Myanmar’s critical discourse. Exile Hubachieves this by providing holistic support to media professionals and emerging pro-democracy activists defending and fighting for human rights both within and beyond borders. —講者簡介— 講者:長期支持海外緬甸行動者的團體「Exile Hub」 主持:亞洲公民未來協會 專員 Doris Yang —講座資訊— 講座以英文進行,並提供有需求者中文口譯 時間:2月27日 (四) 19:00 地點:台北善導寺捷運站附近,實際地點將註明於報名確認信中 —SPEAKERS— Speakers: -Ma Zee (Managing Director, Exile Hub) -Yucca (Resesarching Director, Exile Hub) Moderator: Doris Yang (Project Coordinator, ACFA) —INFO— Language: English with Mandarin translation upon request Time: 19:00-21:00, 27th Feb.

【緬甸強震】透過捐款給獨立、在地與受信賴的緬甸社區來賑災和支持緬甸人民

#緬甸人民不等於獨裁統治的緬甸軍方 #緬甸人民不等於電信詐騙園區 #緬甸人民是在自然災害與軍事政變夾縫間求生的鬥士 ❓在過去的幾天當中,你是否也曾經問過這些問題? 3月28日,緬甸發生芮氏規模8.2大地震,罹難人數持續增加,美國地質調查局(US Geological Survey)預測,罹難人數可能攀升至一萬人,國際特赦組織則警告,2025年將有三分之一的緬甸人口需要人道協助。然而,一向以愛心著稱的台灣,卻因近年國際詐騙犯罪猖獗、針對緬甸軍方的疑慮,以及緬甸軍方不接受台灣官方派駐的救災隊等因素,紛紛出現反對捐款給緬甸民間賑災的相關輿論,社群間一時被這些問題淹沒:「捐款給緬甸有用嗎?」「緬甸都是詐騙園區,這次地震是活該,不要捐款!」「你捐給緬甸地震的資源都會被軍政府拿走,不會到災民手上的。」「緬甸不讓我們的救災隊進去,算了,不用捐了啦!」 🇲🇲人民是最大的受災戶 自2021年緬甸軍方政變以來,大部分人民都在軍方高壓統治下生活,人民除了必須為生存奮鬥,也持續組織反抗軍事統治,因而面對法律與法外的鎮壓和報復。這次強震,對緬甸人民和人民的反抗運動來說無疑是雪上加霜,地震後緬甸軍方持
