8 Years On: Rohingya Women, Girls and Youth Still Face Risks
Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh - Eight years ago, on August 25th, the Rohingya refugee crisis began. It’s a date that serves as a painful reminder of a community's suffering, but also as a powerful example of how global solidarity can bring hope and real, life-saving change.
UNFPA programmes in Cox's Bazar and Bhasan Char Island are a clear example of this success. With funding from a wide range of donors, UNFPA has been able to provide critical aid to thousands of women and young girls.
Now, as global humanitarian funding dwindles, these essential services are in danger. The future of Rohingya women, girls, and young people hangs in the balance. Eight years on and they still face risks.
They need the world’s support more than ever. UNFPA stands with them, but we can’t do it alone. Without urgent support, safe births, gender-based violence services and youth centres are in jeopardy.
