What is forced conscription?
Forced conscription is when a government makes people join the military, often against their will. In Myanmar, this has led to over 3.6 million people being forced to leave their homes, as highlighted by the UK. It's a serious human rights abuse because it takes away people's freedom and puts them in danger.
