Right Livelihood 200d ago

Greta Thunberg, a 2019 Right Livelihood Laureate, delivers the award acceptance speech for fellow Laureate Justice For Myanmar at the 2025 Award Presentation. She amplifies the voices of those resisting nearly five years of military terror in Myanmar, and celebrates the extraordinary courage of people who continue to fight for justice, dignity and democracy. Since the junta’s illegal coup attempt in 2021, Myanmar’s people have faced mass killings, torture, sexual violence, airstrikes and the burning of villages — atrocities committed with total impunity by the same perpetrators responsible for genocide against the Rohingya. Yet their courage remains unbroken. Justice For Myanmar’s message is clear: Myanmar’s struggle is part of a global fight for justice — from Palestine to Ukraine, East Turkistan to Sudan. Dismantling the military cartel requires international solidarity and concrete action. Their calls to action: • Governments: Reject the junta’s planned sham election. Stop the flow of funds, arms, equipment and aviation fuel. • Companies and investors: Withdraw from military-linked businesses. Do not fund atrocities. This Award sends a simple, powerful truth: The world is watching — and the Myanmar people’s revolution will prevail. 🔗 Learn more about Justice For Myanmar: https://rightlivelihood.org/the-change-makers/find-a-laureate/justice-for-myanmar/ 📅 Watch the full Award Presentation on our channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiTEDQkuFeA
