Our story, mission, and vision for a democratic Burma

Our Story

Democratic Burma was founded in 2021 by a group of Burmese expatriates, human rights activists, and international supporters committed to promoting democratic change in Burma.

Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly to advocate for human rights, democratic reforms, and the rule of law in Burma. Our organization has grown to include members from diverse backgrounds, all united by a shared vision of a free and democratic Burma.

Message from Our Founder

"My journey with Democratic Burma began after 2021 Burma coup, born from a deep-seated passion for democracy and human rights in Myanmar. As a minority, an Indian-Burmese who witnessed the struggles of Burmese people and other minorities living in Burma and as a person who even got violated to preserve the fundamental human rights under the oppressive Burma government rule, I felt compelled to act."
