Palaung Women’s Organisation (PWO) release “Poisoned Hills” report

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

IWDA would like to congratulate partner organisation the Palaung Women’s Organisation (PWO) on their groundbreaking report “Poisoned Hills: Surging Opium Cultivation under Government Control in Burma” which was released yesterday.

PWO’s findings highlight the structural issues underlying the drug problem in Burma and follow a 2006 report ‘Poisoned Flowers’ which examined the devastating impacts of spiralling drug addiction on women in Palaung areas of Burma.
