Myanmar is making historical progressive reforms. Rapid political, economic, and social transition is taking the country and its 51.4 million citizens in new directions. If the reforms are to equally benefit women and men and girls and boys, fundamental changes are needed in how women and their needs are included in Myanmar’s new governance and in policy, planning, and decision-making processes. 

This report presents a compendium of data in critical areas of women’s lives to guide gender-sensitive policies and programs, including Myanmar’s reform agenda and the National Strategic Plan for the Advancement of Women.
