The Democratic Advocate Database intends to honor the work of non-violent advocates who have labored for a democratic and human rights based government for Myanmar. In doing so, BDFWG is also working to address the erasure of this history of non-violent democratic advocacy by successive generations of military junta leaders. Indeed, we believe the Myanmar people must understand their past if they are to build a peaceful future.
