On February 28, 2021, in Myitkyina, Myanmar, Sister Ann Rose Nu Tawng saw heavily @rmed security forces approaching protesters near the clinic where she worked. 😧 Instead of stepping away, the Catholic nun walked toward them. Then she dropped to her knees in the street, stretched out her arms, and pleaded with the officers not to shoot the young protesters behind her.🥺 She was putting herself directly between the security forces and people who were seeking safety. Photographs of that moment quickly spread around the world. What looked like one quiet woman kneeling in the dust became one of the most recognizable images from Myanmar’s 2021 protests. Her courage brought international attention, and she was later named to the BBC’s 100 Women of 2021. Pope Francis also publicly referred to her act, saying, “I too kneel on the streets of Myanmar.” 🙏 But perhaps what makes this photograph so powerful is its simplicity. No weapon. No armor. No force. Just one person deciding that, for those few moments, she would place herself between danger and people who were vulnerable. Sometimes courage doesn't look powerful at all. Sometimes, it looks like simply refusing to move
