Actually, regarding the interfaith marriage bill, they say this is to protect the women, but the protection that we want is not this bill. It is not protecting women. It is restricting women's rights and it is not in line with international law. Through this they say that they are going to protect women. We are working very hard for it not to move forward, not to proceed.
Those who are working, especially women's groups, inside Burma, and also from the ethnic areas, are working very hard to stop this process, but we are receiving a lot of threatening messages, especially those who live in Yangon. The women activists receive more than 100 threatening messages a day. They receive phone calls threatening to kill them if they are involved in this interfaith marriage law.
