“I made an interview about the Indian House of People’s approval of 33% woman representation in Parliament on September 19, 2023. Currently, there is 15% female participation in the Indian Parliament. This approval is welcomed worldwide as a historic development. In Myanmar, women’s representation in Parliament was 13% in 2015, and it rose to 17% in 2020. However, women MPs were not allowed to enter Parliament. Most of them are doing their best for the people in their constituencies. The Myanmar Women Parliamentarians Network has also been formed. I believe that women will have more representation in the new federal state soon,” the minister said.

We all know how important the support sector is, especially in the resistance war. It may be difficult for people at home and abroad to participate personally, whether in arm resistance or civil resistance. But most of them will be able to serve as a supporter. Support for the PDF Army is carried out by the PRF. There are more than 56 million people in the country. There are at least 3 million Myanmar expatriates who still have ties to Myanmar. With a total of about 60 million, why can’t we get 3 to 4 lakh PRF support troops?” it stated.
In the new People’s Revolution Supply Family 2.0 (PRF 2.0) program, support family members will have the opportunity to choose the states and regions they want to support, and the funds will be distributed to the People’s Defense Force (PDF) Army’s battalions/columns or allied revolutionary organizations based in the regions selected by the support family members.
During the 17-month period from December 2021 to April 2023, when the People’s Revolution Supply Family (PRF) program was launched, an estimated US$10.93 million was received.
