Social Sector Principle @Union Peace Conference-21st Century Panglong 3rd Session- 2018
14-July-2018 (Nay Pyi Taw)
At this social sector development at Union Peace Conference- 2018, I (Aung Myint Thu) was nominated to be one of the main representative responsible in term of principle development. We have five different kind of institutes: Government, Parliament, Army (Myanmar)/ Tamadaw, Political Party and Ethnic Armed Organization (EAO). EAO of Rakhine/Arakan nominated me as the spokesperson. We are working on seven issues now. Yesterday, my proposal was " at leat 30 % of women in Decision-Making" and the proposal is finally agreed and which will be in our law.
The proposal for the social sector focused on inclusion of at least 30 per cent of women in decision-making for resettlement, rehabilitation and social development issues; on establishing an education-for-all system; a health care system which is accessible to all people; making laws for women’s rights, including rights for the aged, the disabled, children and pregnant women; taking into consideration social factors when social development projects are carried out; reducing the menace of narcotic drugs and effectively carrying out rehabilitation and development of child rights.
The Union Peace Conference-21st Century Panglong began with the country’s nationwide ceasefire agreement (NCA) as the top political dialogue. At the third session of the conference, representatives are discussing proposal papers submitted by national-level political dialogues, groups and individuals. All are obliged to discuss basic principles for a federal system, which remained to be agreed upon, since the second session of the conference. Last year in 2017, I participated at the Social Sector Documentation Team at UPC. In 2018, I become a representative who is able to discuss the issue.
