English: Kaythi is deputy director of the Gender Equality Network in Myanmar. The Gender Equality Network (GEN) is a group of organisations in Myanmar that are active on women’s rights. While Myanmar is a very traditional conservative Buddhist country, it is also a country in transition, and GEN and its members are campaigning for a more equal society. According to Kaythi, the organisations’ greatest success has been building up the network to include over one hundred organisations active on women’s rights. The collective action of the network has put significant pressure on the government, which has resulted in the introduction of a governmental plan on women’s equality, and the development of draft legislation to protect women from violence.
