“…A recent International Rescue Committee (IRC) report (2020) indicates that rates of reported GBV in camps are in line with global rates, a worrying finding given the significant barriers that Rohingya women face in reporting gender-based violence.

Displacement, unemployment, the breakdown of traditional family structures and new, highly restrictive living conditions inside the camps have challenged traditional roles and destabilized power dynamics within Rohingya family units.…”

A qualitative study conducted among Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh provides empirical confirmation of two types of adverse consequence that frequently occur following distress migration: harsh and exclusionary host state policies, and exacerbation of power inequities (and related abuse) within the refugee community. This article describes research that explored the circumstances of female Rohingya refugees living in the Cox’s Bazar refugee camps in Bangladesh after fleeing genocidal violence in Myanmar. The refugees describe harsh gendered aspects of their forced displacement, including limited access to needed protection and services as well as intra-community hardships exacerbated by the impact of displacement and segregation. Both sets of outcomes constitute preventable human rights violations that require redress.
