\nThe Scream that Needs to be Heard (and Seen) <\/strong>
\nall around the World<\/strong>
\nWhen she was a slave in China, the only people who could hear the screams of Myanmar Rose were the ones causing her to scream. Now, for International Women’s Day on 8th March, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) hosts Myanmar Rose’s first-ever art exhibition. From there, her screams will be heard (and seen) all around the world.
\n
\nThe gut-wrenching story of Myanmar Rose, who was sold into slavery at the age of 14, highlights it is not just men who facilitate this terrible crime… that sometimes women participate in it, profit from it, and turn a blind eye to it even when it is right in front of them.
\n
\nMyanmar Rose’s story also reminds us that, given the chance, somehow, a woman who has been betrayed, trafficked, enslaved, repeatedly raped, hit every day, can escape – and become a living testament to the will of woman.
\n
\nAt Myanmar Rose’s art show, you will be surrounded by the pain of suicidal despair, the horror inhuman injustice, the worst of humanity at its worst… and you will also be uplifted by the triumph of the spirit of woman…. bravery, determination, grit, creative blossoming…Where else would you want to be on International Woman’s Day than to be surrounded by all this?
\n
\nThis year YOU can stand as a living testament to Myanmar Rose that now she is NOT ALONE. Now she can be heard.
\n
\nThis year, 8th March, honor Myanmar Rose and the other women survivors… honor International Woman’s Day…. and be uplifted.
