On March 8, 2000, at the official launch of the March, Burma's Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi addressed the women of the world on video to express her solidarity with the event beginning on that day.
She called on UN officials and the international financial institutions to take measures to improve the situation of women around the planet.
Making the video was not an easy task. Aung San Suu Kyi has been under close surveillance for years and is confined to Rangoon, the capital of the Southeast Asian country run by a dictatorial regime.
