Burma Campaign
The Burmese military regime is one of the most repressive in the world. To complement our work with refugees on the Thai-Burma border, Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA activists and supporters in Australia can be involved in a range of activities from promoting the Global Unions Plan of Action on Burma to raising money to support our projects with refugees.
