UNHEARD VOICES
Qualitative Research on Conflict-
Related Sexual Violence in Myanmar
(2016-2021)
About the Report
This research project was designed to collect qualitative data on conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in five states of Myanmar. The cases present a troubling snapshot of a consistent pattern of CRSV throughout the country and a high level of gender-based violence (GBV).
UNHEARD VOICES helps give context to the lived experiences of survivors and points to an immediate and pressing need to provide greater support, services, economic opportunities and accountability. This report includes five recommendations for the international community and a democratically-elected government in Myanmar.

About the Report
The report I Am Afraid to Die, and No One Knows focuses on conditions in women’s prisons in Yemen, using the Central Prison in Sana’a as a model. It delves into problems in living conditions in the Central Prison—such as overcrowding, a lack of healthcare services, and physical abuse—before exploring the categories of women detained in the prison. It features testimonials from or about current and former prisoners that detail why they were detained and what they experienced while imprisoned. The report concludes with concrete and gender-sensitive steps that can be taken to improve circumstances within Yemeni prisons, support due process for all detainees, and promote a safer and more successful reintegration of former detainees into society. Please note that some content in the report may be distressing to some readers.
