Equality Myanmar (EQMM)

The organization was founded in Chiang Mai, Thailand, by Aung Myo Min, a Burmese exile, for the purpose of enabling people from Myanmar to be able to claim their rights and promoting a vision of society in which human rights are respected and protected. The organization conducts various human rights education awareness raising activities, combined with advocacy approaches. In 2013, the organization moved fully inside of Myanmar, because the political situation was changing enough to allow exiles and democracy organizations to work there. Since that time, the organization has consolidated its network of training alumni across the country, and has programs in every single state and region. Also the organization has established a solid presence in the human rights sector as a leading voice and actor on human rights issues in the country.
