    Resisting the Regime: Women and Youth in Post-Coup Myanmar — with Isabella Aung

    In this first episode of Talks4Her Season 3, we speak with Isabella Aung about the realities of women and youth resisting military rule in post-coup Myanmar. Since the 2021 coup, women and young people have been at the forefront of resistance — organizing, supporting communities, and continuing to fight despite violence, repression, and increasing restrictions on their freedoms. This conversation explores how the regime impacts women’s lives in deeply gendered ways, from forced conscription and displacement to systemic violence, while also highlighting the strength, leadership, and resilience of those resisting. A powerful reminder that the fight for democracy is also a feminist struggle.
