Women around the world have launched an ambitious international program entitled 'Panties for Peace' in which they will send panties to Burmese embassies around the world.
The Burmese military junta is highly superstitious and believe any contact with women's underwear will take away their power, so hence the idea came to fruition to send a clear message to stop the abuse of Burmese women.
One Burmese activist said "I think (underwear) that has already been worn will be most effective to put them to shame." She also said she hopes Victoria Secret will get involved to increase awareness of the campaign.
