In Memory of Dame Anita Roddick
Get Informed. Get Inspired. Get Outraged. Get Active.
Anita was visiting Thailand and Burma with Children on the Edge in November of this year to help us highlight the human rights abuses being perpetrated by Burma’s military regime against its own people. Because of Anita’s interest in this situation we believe she would want us to continue this work in her name and for this reason we feel donations to our work in this area to be a fitting tribute to her.
Children on the Edge are currently helping Internally displaced People within Burma as well as the refugee and migrant children on the Thai-Burma border. We are working in partnership with local grassroots organisations providing shelter, food, education and healthcare in particular focusing on the most vulnerable children, those that have lost their parents.
Burma is ruled by one of the most brutal military dictatorships in the world; a dictatorship charged by the United Nations with a “crime against humanity” for its systematic abuses of human rights, and condemned internationally for refusing to transfer power to the legally elected Government of the country – the party led by Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
The generals and the army stand accused of gross human rights abuses. They are systematically destroying ethnic villages in Eastern and Western Burma going from village to village, burning houses, destroying crops and forcibly relocating civilians. There is widespread use of forced labour, killings, torture, beatings and rapes by the militia.
As a result of these substantial abuses against ethnic minorities an estimated 1.5 million people are internally displaced living in jungles within Burma with not enough food, clean water or medicine. Thousands have fled to neighbouring countries such as Thailand as refugees. Over a million live in Thailand and neighbouring countries as illegal migrants as even though they have fled persecution they are denied refugee status and protection.
