Support the women of Burma
Strip the military regime's power
Help fund relief efforts

Send your panties for peace!

Apparently a serious initiative the 'Panties for Peace' campaign was launched by the women's organization Lanna Action for Burma (LAB) on Oct. 16, 2007, in the hopes of bringing an end to the military regime's rampant abuse of Burma's population – and the abuse of Burma's women in particular.
Founded in the wake of the military's brutal response to monk-led pro-democracy uprisings in Burma last fall, the Panties for Peace campaign has been given new and pressing importance by the regime's self-interested and inhumane response to the devastation of Cyclone Nargis.

The campaign has been already launched around the world, in Australia, the Philippines, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, the USA and in Brazil.

The Panties for Peace campaign plays on the regime leaders' superstitious fear that contact with a woman's underpants will rob them of their power. Women around the world are asked to post their panties to local Burmese embassies in a bid to strip the regime of its power and bring an end to its gross violations of human rights, especially those committed against Burma's women.
