One of the latest images, one of the most powerful, is that of a nun who knelt in front of the troops deployed in Myanmar. Dozens of women protest after the military coup in Burma despite the ban on mass gatherings and a curfew.

Joseph Kung Za Hmung, editor of Gloria News Journal, the first Catholic web newspaper in Myanmar, explained: “The action of the nun and the response of the police who, upon seeing the supplication of the nun, it stopped, they surprised many of us. Sister Ann today is a model for the leaders of the Church: bishops and priests are called to leave their comfort zones and to take an example of her courage ».
Sister Ann exposed herself to avoid casualties, but there are daily deaths and injuries in Burma after the arrest of Aung San Su Kyi in demonstrations calling for their release together with the restoration of legality. Another woman, symbol of the revolt, died with a blow to the head. Deng Jia Xi, known as Angel, a 19-year-old dancer and taekwondo champion who protested in Mandalay had written on the shirt “Everything will be okay”. There are dozens of messages on social media that remember her.
More than 50 victims of repression in recent days, over 1700 people arrested and incarcerated. The protests do not stop and many women are in the streets.

We think these costumes are the most obvious way to show it ».

A woman dressed in white was the symbol of the protest in Sudan. She was filmed while leading protest chants against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. Her name is Alaa Salah, she is 22 and she studies engineering and architecture at Khartoum International University. It is on top of a car, high above everyone else and surrounded by crowds. It is the image that will remain of the protest in Sudan where it is in a coup d’etat by the military with the presidential palace of Karthoum, surrounded by troops.
