LAW helped establish the Alliance Against CRSV-Myanmar, a coalition of 13 women led grassroots organisations with nearly 60 members, which formalised its structure and long term advocacy goals at a strategic workshop in August 2025. LAW’s report “They Thought We’d Stay Silent”: Survivors of Brutal Sexual Violence Fight Impunity in Post-Coup Myanmar documents a sharp escalation of conflict related sexual violence in regions where such patterns had not previously been recorded, along with systematic sexualised torture in detention centres.

In October 2025 LAW filed a landmark complaint in Australia under the principle of universal jurisdiction on behalf of ten survivors, covering crimes against humanity and war crimes not yet addressed by other filings on Myanmar. Combining witness evidence with open source intelligence including satellite imagery, video and photographs, the complaint sets out charges of murder, torture, imprisonment, rape and sexual violence, and persecution on political grounds. LAW has also begun working with authorities in a further jurisdiction on an open investigation into torture and war crimes.

LAW complements Myanmar’s transitional justice dialogues with specialised legal advice on how to engage with international accountability venues, and works with its Rohingya Crisis team to build consensus between the Rohingya and other peoples of Myanmar. In 2025 LAW launched an online self-paced course, Understanding Sexual Violence, on the CSO Academy e-learning platform, and produced advocacy tools in which survivors describe in their own words the harm they carry.

Conditions since the coup have heightened risks for women, children and older people, and driven continued cross border displacement into Thailand and Bangladesh. LAW’s documentation work with grassroots partners records how children experience conflict related sexual violence and other atrocity crimes, so that these harms are captured accurately in the casefiles being prepared for national and international proceedings.
