Change is coming to Myanmar as it transitions to democracy. But when it comes to protecting women from violence, the needle has barely budged. Thiri Aung Tin, pictured here, says her boyfriend persuaded her to elope, then locked her in a dark room for days on end. It was the start of an ordeal of captivity and verbal abuse that lasted more than 2 years, she says, and eventually drove her to attempt suicide. #Myanmar lags behind many of its Asian neighbors on women’s rights, human rights groups say, citing a penal code that does not recognize marital rape and the country’s lack of a domestic violence law. Diplomats have even called violence against women in the country a “silent emergency.” A draft law that seeks to provide greater protection for women has support among local advocacy groups and legislators, but has stalled, amid opposition from conservative lawmakers with military ties and Buddhist hard-liners. Some critics have argued that the proposed law would unfairly target men. @minzayar_oo took this photo of Thiri while on #nytassignment in Yangon.
