Abstract

The article focuses on the International Day of Action for Rivers, observed on March 14, 2024, highlighting protests in Myanmar's Karen and Shan States against dam construction projects that threaten local communities and their environments. Over a thousand demonstrators, led by Karen Rivers Watch, opposed the Hatgyi Dam on the Salween River, citing human rights violations and lack of consent from affected populations. Despite local resistance, the military junta continues to pursue hydropower projects for its benefit, exacerbating humanitarian and environmental crises. The article emphasizes the need for international support for local movements advocating for self-determination and sustainable development, urging a halt to destructive projects linked to the military.
