Digital Rights Forum
MCRB has been working with civil society organisations, business and government to raise awareness of digital rights issues in Myanmar and relevant regulation and business practice. With Phandeeyar, MIDO, and Free Expression Myanmar, we have co-hosted four Digital Rights Forums in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
MCRB continues to work on Myanmar digital rights issues with a variety of partners. We hope to work with partners to convene future Myanmar Digital Rights Forums when the situation allows.
