Minority ethnic groups such as the and the people have also faced persecution and been subjected to forced labor. Rape has also been used as a systematic weapon against women of ethnic minorities too, and thousands of villages comprised of minority ethnic groups have been destroyed, many burnt and razed to the ground, and their inhabitants displaced.
Meanwhile religion is also a problem in Myanmar. Rohingya Muslim minority have been denied Burmese citizenship since 1982 by Citizenship Law and still flee by sea due to communal violence in Burma.
