Yaung Chi Thit (YCT) Organization

Yaung Chi Thit (YCT) is a non- political, non- religious association, which was established in 2009. In support of YCT’s overarching vision “to build a peaceful and democratic society based on justice and gender equality”, YCT aims to support the increased active involvement of women and youth in the wider political, social and development process in Myanmar. YCT’s work is based on the fundamental belief in the right of all citizens to participate in decision-making processes at the local level as this will give them the chance to have a say in decisions and policies that will affect their daily lives. YCT strongly believes and supports inclusive community empowerment processes that help citizens realize their rights through a combination of awareness raising, community mobilization and holding those responsible to account.
