Khin Lay is the founder and director of Triangle Women’s Support Group, an organisation that works to empower women across Myanmar to be decision makers and active members of society. Programmes have included activities on reproductive health, parenting and child psychology, human trafficking, human rights and sexual and gender-based violence, including awareness-raising on international and existing laws. Previously, Lay was the leader of Kamaryut Women’s Wing of the National League for Democracy where she advocated for the rights of women and was a victim of political persecutions. Lay’s long-term goal is to create a national- level Women’s Ministry to work with public and private entities to ensure parity for women in all spheres.
