It was in 1990 that Suu Kyi ran for prime minister of Burma as part of the National League for democracy. She was elected but immediately placed under house arrest by the military junta who took over control of the Burmese government. Aung San Suu Kyi is known worldwide for her strong beliefs in “peace, security, human rights and democracy”. In this speech, Suu Kyi particularly focuses on these elements, but predominantly in the context of the “participation of women in politics and governance”.

Also including some humour. By making the audience feel included from the start of the speech, Suu Kyi immediately catches their attention, making them more attentive and less likely to not pay attention throughout the speech.
Throughout her speech, Suu Kyi has made various points on why women...
