Bangladesh’s Response to Human Rights Violations of Rohingya Women andChildren: A Study

Abstract

The Rohingya community represents one of the most persecuted and marginalized groups in the contemporary world, facing systematic denial of fundamental human rights. Among them, women and children are disproportionately affected, enduring targeted violence, discrimination, and deprivation. This paper critically examines the human rights violations experienced by Rohingya women and children, both in their homeland of Myanmar and within refugee camps in Bangladesh. It explores how gender- based violence, loss of identity, and the absence of legal protection contribute to their continued suffering. This study, employing a qualitative approach and mining secondary data sources, examines the intricate interplay between statelessness, gender, and displacement. By adopting a human rights lens, the paper aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the humanitarian crisis and the urgent need for comprehensive protective measures for Rohingya women and children in Bangladesh.
