Women should be allowed to "meaningfully participate" in Myanmar's peace and reconciliation process, says a report by Human Rights Watch (HRW).
"Women in Burma [Myanmar ] are entitled to a meaningful and comprehensive role in determining their country's future," said Sarah Taylor from Human Rights Watch via a statement.
"Burma's women have long endured abuses but have worked hard to advance human rights. Their voices should now be front and center."
HRW's 18-page report "examines women's participation in peace efforts in Burma and the devastating impacts of the country's wars on women."
Despite the presence of Aung San Suu Kyi, women have been almost nonexistent from nearly four years of peace negotiations that are aimed at ending the country's internal conflicts.
HRW said that there have been only 10 women among 195 senior delegates in eight major peace efforts since 2012.
