Sometimes photos just say it all. Here at House of Butter we just wanted to remember her and the 100’s of thousands like her in Myanmar at the moment.
She does bear an uncanny resemblance to another young woman of global significance

The BBC reports
Crowds gathered in Mandalay on Thursday for the funeral of a 19-year-old woman who was shot dead during Myanmar’s anti-coup protests a day earlier.
Kyal Sin, known as Angel, was wearing a T-shirt with the phrase “Everything will be OK” when she died.
Tributes have flooded in on social media, with many calling her a hero.
Since the 1 February coup, Myanmar has been gripped by mass protests demanding an end to military rule and the release of detained elected leaders.
More than 54 people have been killed by security forces in the protests so far, according to the UN Human Rights Office, although other reports put the figure much higher. Wednesday was the bloodiest day since the coup, with 38 protesters killed in cities and towns across the country.
