56 Nyar Eh Khu Karen
The daughter of Karen resistance fighters, Nyar Eh Khu was born in the forest while her parents were running away from the Burmese army. While they were on the run, Nyar Eh Khu’s mother could not breastfeed her young daughter because she was very ill. Because her mother did not have enough milk, Nyar Eh Khu remembers drinking honey as a baby instead. Childbirth during the conflict carried much risk. Later on, one of Nyar Eh Khu’s older sisters also died in childbirth when she was unable to deliver her baby. In March 1999, when Nyar Eh Khu was on her way to receive her pre-elementary teaching certificate, Shan Pu came to her village. The commandos killed many in her neighbourhood. Another sister died from a landmine during this time. These events deeply affected her. She does not like to speak of what happened to her back then. Now 39, she lives with her parents, is married, and has children. Her father was a KNU general, but is now very old. Nyar Eh Khu finds it hard to lift heavy items. She had to have an operation to remove her ovaries in April 2007. However, she still works on the farm. 57 Whenever she remembers the violations that took place, she suffers from headaches and pains in her joints. ” I have so many heart problems. I always hide my face.” However, despite this, she tries to maintain a confident, positive outlook. Recently, Nyar Eh Khu stopped taking her medication so that she could pay for her child’s schooling instead. Women’s <strong>Experiences</strong> of War, Peace, and Impunity in Myanmar
