For decades, women in and from Myanmar have engaged in documentation of human rights abuses by the Myanmar military, report writing and international advocacy campaigns as key strategies in pursuit of political change. Approaching these practices of knowledge production as expressions of narrative agency, this chapter examines how bearing witness has allowed women from marginalized ethnic minority communities to gain significant influence. It traces the evolution of human rights documentation targeting international audiences as a key strategy for the Burmese women’s movement in exile, and explores the politics of how narratives about violence and human right abuses are produced, circulated, silenced and heard. The chapter notes that constraints regarding which narratives can be heard and amplified in an international political context have led to an emphasis on conflict-related sexual violence at the expense of more complex narratives of structural gendered violence and insecurity. Further, after the onset of a political reform period in Myanmar in 2011, the interest of international actors shifted towards collaboration with government, which made them less receptive to oppositional narratives of still ongoing, state-sponsored human rights abuses. This demonstrates the sensitivity of women’s narrative agency to geopolitical shifts and changes in the international politics of aid.
