Abstract
The Women's League of Burma (WLB) has played a pivotal role in advocating for democracy in Myanmar, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic which exacerbated the nation’s political and social challenges. Utilizing Gabriel A. Almond's Associational Interest Group Theory, this study examines how WLB mobilizes women across various ethnic backgrounds to address both gender-based issues and broader democratic aspirations. The pandemic heightened vulnerabilities, yet it also provided a unique context for collective action. WLB's strategies included raising awareness about the impacts of COVID-19 on women, advocating for their rights in healthcare and political representation, and leveraging online platforms to maintain engagement amid lockdowns. Through its network, WLB has fostered solidarity among women, enhancing their visibility in the political sphere and amplifying demands for democratic reforms. The association not only serves as a support system for women but also acts as a vital conduit for political participation and advocacy. By examining WLB's efforts during this critical period, this research highlights the significance of interest groups in shaping democratic discourse and policy, even in times of crisis. The findings underscore the resilience and agency of women in Myanmar, suggesting that their involvement is crucial for a sustainable democratic future. This study contributes to the broader understanding of how grassroots organizations can influence political change within repressive regimes, particularly through the lens of social solidarity and collective mobilization.
