Prominent Australian women are answering Aung San Suu Kyi's call to "Please use your liberty to promote ours" by becoming Ambassadors for Aung San Suu Kyi. These Ambassadors for Aung San Suu Kyi will use their profiles to raise awareness of Aung San Suu Kyi and Burma.Meet our wonderful Ambassadors for Aung San Suu Kyi:• Tanya Plibersek, Federal Minister for the Status of Women• Julie Bishop, Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister• Sharan Burrow, ACTU President• Natasha Stott Despoja, former Senator and former leader of the Australian Democrats• Reverend Elenie Poulos, National Director of the Uniting Church's Uniting Justice• Lee Rhiannon, Greens NSW MP• Penny Sharpe, ALP MP NSW State Parliament• Narelle Jarrett, Archdeacon for Women, Anglican Diocese of Sydney• Dr Meredith Burgmann, City of Sydney Councilor• Helen Westward, ALP MP NSW Parliament• Sue Pennicuik – Greens member of the Victorian Legislative CouncilIn October Aung San Suu Kyi will have been under house arrest for 15 years – nearly a quarter of her life. Burma Campaign Australia has asked these Ambassadors to reflect upon the 15 years that have been stolen from Aung San Suu Kyi, through reflecting upon their own achievements and their support for Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Burma.Natasha Stott Despoja, former Senator said: "In the past 15 years, I have entered Parliament as a Senator, left Parliament to spend time with my young family, got married, had two children, even changed laws that changed lives. During that time, Aung San Suu Kyi has been a symbol of hope and strength for many of us yet, for 15 years, she has been under house arrest. We must not forget her struggle nor that of the Burmese people."Go to
