Myanmar is one of the earliest countries in Asia that gives women the right to vote and allows them to participate in public activities since 1935. In 1995, many countries around the world decided to sign the Beijing Platform of Action, which aims to achieve women’s representation in the national legislature to 30%, and Myanmar also agreed to sign the agreement. Moreover, in 1997, Myanmar signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Despite all those signatories in different treaties, women’s involvement in Myanmar in different areas of the society is still low. The main objective of this study is to examine Myanmarese women’s participation in the politics and peace process of the country as well as to discover the challenges for them to get involved in politics. Data was collected by interviewing different stakeholders from various organizations and parties, as well as from secondary resources such as publications, articles, and books. The key findings of the study indicate that women’s participation in politics, the decision-making process, and the peace process will bring positive results for the country. It further shows that women in Myanmar are mainly challenged by the cultural aspects and experience gender-based discrimination in different ways. Women experience restrictions and limitations under the cultural norms of society. Even though women’s representation has increased recently, there are still discriminations against women. The inclusion of women in society is not just by means of justice or democratic society but also for the need for equal development of the society.
