examining how the right to freedom of expression and information applies to women in Myanmar and what gender-based violence is experienced by women as a result of what they say. 553 Some women’s organisations campaigning against discrimination against women have received anonymous death threats via Facebook and their mobile phones. 554 Other women’s organisations are focussing on the gap between men and women working in the ICT sector. The founder of ‘Geek Girls’, a women in technology community in Myanmar, noted that 60% of the students at computer universities are female, but that women are lagging behind men in employment in the ICT sector, including in start-ups. 555 Children The Myanmar Government ratified the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in 1991, and acceded to the CRC Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution, and Child Sexual Abuse Images in January 2012 556 and ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour in December 2013. Nonetheless Myanmar law diverges from the CRC in some significant areas. For example, the provisions of the 1993 Child Law define a child as becoming an adult at 16 rather than 18 years, and sets the minimum age of criminal responsibility at seven years old. Although the Government has said that it will reform the law to bring it into line with the CRC, this has not yet occurred. When discussing potential private sector impacts on children, the usual and often exclusive focus of companies is on child labour. However, ICTs can have a wider set of impacts on children, as a consequence of their physical and cognitive immaturity and vulnerability to exploitation. There is an increasing range of tools regarding children available to assist companies in identifying and understanding potential impacts on children. 557 the southeast of the country also experienced harassment.
