Nang Phyu Phyu Lin grew up in a country with 135 ethnic groups, but her experience with discrimination was personal. She was treated as second-class by her extended family because her parents came from different ethnic backgrounds. “This upset me,” she says, “because, although I’m not 100% the same ethnic group, I am 100% human being.” Today, she chairs the Alliance for the Inclusion of Gender in the Peace Process, which promotes women’s involvement in Myanmar’s political transition. www.inclusivesecurity.org/17-women-changing-world/
