Naw Sue Htoo leans on the living room wall and lets the late afternoon light warm her face. As a younger woman, Naw Sue’s village came under repeated attack from the army in Myanmar. In 1994, her family fled but they were separated. She hid for two to three days but was captured and tortured after her return. Pregnant at the time, her child was stillborn. Her five-year-old son died soon after from exposure after hiding out with no food and water.
