Aung San Suu Kyi's activism significantly altered Myanmar's political landscape. Her non-violent resistance against military rule mobilized both national and international support for democracy. Her efforts culminated in the 2015 elections, where her party won a majority, providing a glimmer of hope for democratic reform. However, her subsequent policies and the handling of ethnic tensions, particularly with the Rohingya, drew criticism and complicated her legacy. Thus, while her activism initially inspired change, it also revealed the complexities and challenges of leading a diverse nation.
