As Rohingya refugee girls living in Bangladesh's camps, we stand in solidarity with the people of Myanmar and Palestine. We understand the pain of displacement and the struggle for justice. Together, we can raise our voices for peace and human rights.

So proud of the Rohingya students who passed their matriculation exams despite the dire situation in Arakan State. Special applause for our star sisters with distinctions. Invest in Rohingya education โ it's an investment in peace. Let's continue to support and uplift each other.
Today, a

Education is key in

refugee camps, especially for SRH. Many women and men suffer from STDs. Let's prioritize educating and empowering refugees to take control of their sexual and reproductive health.

The compulsory recruitment of Myanmar military is impacting Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh. Unknown groups are reportedly abducting young people and sending them back to Myanmar. This deteriorating situation leaves Rohingya youth feeling increasingly unsafe in Bangladesh.
Rohingya in Arakan are facing a dire situation, with the junta forcing them to undergo military training to use as weapons against the Rakhine. More, the AA is targeting Rohingya community leaders within the state. Moments ago, AA shot Mujibullah, a Rohingya leader from Maungdaw.
Severe rainfall in Coxโs Bazar, Bangladesh, has heavily impacted Rohingya refugee camps, resulting in fatalities. Flash floods and landslides have caused extensive damage to shelters, with reported casualties reaching 9, prompting the relocation of many refugees to safer areas.
This image powerfully depicts

families escaping persecution. During the 2017 Rohingya exodus from

, a devoted son carried his aging parents in two bamboo baskets on his shoulders, using a yoke, to ensure their escape from their war-torn homeland.
Respectfully
@TwanMrat
please refrain from using the term "BANGALI" to refer to us. We're Rohingya and it's crucial to acknowledge our identity and history. Just as you wouldn't want to be called SOMETHING that doesn't reflect your true heritage, we too ask for the same respect.
#Rohingya
women & girls are resilient, but their challenges are vast. Limited mobility, restricted voices, vulnerability to
#GBV
. They deserve a life free from fear like others & are resilient, but their challenges are vast. Stand by them, keep them safe, & empower their rights.
How long will the world ignore the suffering in

Who Decides Who We Are? None has right to rewrite our history. "

@KhineThuKha
#Divorce
doesn't solve problems; it creates new ones. The increasing divorce rate among
#Rohingya
couples in the camps is a concerning social issue.
Early marriages, forced marriages, and polygamy are contributing to the rising divorce rates among Rohingya couples in the camps.
I"m pleased to hear that
#Jamalida
, a
#Rohingya
survivor of sexual assault, had the opportunity to meet with the Chief Prosecutor of ICC,
@KarimKhanQC
. She shared her harrowing experience of being raped, along with other Rohingya women, by the ruthless military regime in Myanmar.
This statement is terrifying. It feels like we Rohingya are caught between
#AA
& junta who see us as pawns. Junta wants to enslave us n AA seems to offer no better future. We just want peace and chance to live safely in our homeland. Where is the humanity in all this fighting?
This photo exemplifies humility in leadership. Rohingya activists, both local and international, can learn from Mr. Mohib Ullah, founder of

He sets an example of servant leadership. A valuable lesson for all.

Rohingya in Buthidaung, Myanmar being forced by junta to protest against Arakan Army. This is a deliberate attempt to create conflict. They'll stop at nothing to sow discord.
Despite the junta's tactics,

On this day, we pay tribute to Mohib Ullah, the visionary behind the Arakan

1)After the Myanmar military forcibly conscripted Rohingya youths, the Arakan Army (AA) also compelled Rohingya youths to join them. Both groups will deploy Rohingya on the battlefield, leading to Rohingyas fighting each other at the frontline?

@OHCHRAsia
Appalled by reports of

military Junta and Arakan Army (AA) threatening and forcibly recruiting Rohingya children in Rakhine. This blatant violation of child rights and international law MUST END.

7 years in these camps, violence against our women & girls continues. Culture isn't just an excuse for violence. It takes all of us - NGOs, govts., EVERYONE - to prevent GBV in

camps. We need better communication, faster action & a united front.

The plight of

Hunger knows no borders. They might engage in illegal activities to support their families, and this can be a devastation.

Explaining the relocation of vulnerable Rohingya families to a safe place always takes time due to their lack of understanding and seriousness towards natural disasters resulting from inadequate awareness of potential dangers. Sadly, some
#Rohingya
refugees have died as a result.
"We get three packs for three months from BOSCO-UNHCR, but it's not enough. I need around 2 packs in one cycle sometimes. Pads are expensive. I cut down on other important expenses. So, if I buy a pack for Rs 100, I compromise on some of the grocery that time."

True Colors of Arakan Army
@TwanMrat
Back in 2016, when the Arakan Army was weak, they were all friendly, calling us
#Rohingya
and asking for cooperation. Now that they're all buff compared to back then, they're using different names for us. Shows their true colors, right?
Rohingya women landed in Indonesia by boat explained that they took dangerous journey from camps bcoz they couldn't sleep at night due to rising criminal activities. They were also afraid that criminals might abduct their men, and this is one of the reasons behind their decision.
The second wave of genocide committing by the Arakan Army and Myanmar military junta against

A young Rohingya man, ~25, killed by artillery shells in Myoma Kayin Dan in Maungdaw, Arakan State on July 12, 2024. He died due to lack of immediate medical care. AA and military are intentionally targeting Rohingya villages.
