ALTSEAN has evolved, in response to activists from Burma, from a regional advocacy initiative to one that also delivers a range of capacity‐building and strategic initiatives.
While we are mainly focused on Burma/Myanmar, we also work with activists to defend human rights in ASEAN and beyond.
We have contributed to the establishment and work of key stakeholders in the region, and beyond. In our work, we prioritize the political participation and leadership of women, as well as young people of ethnic, religious and social minorities.
We are known for speaking truth to power while being solutions‐oriented and fact‐based, our commitment to linking grassroots movements with other stakeholders, and our innovative responses to challenges.
