Have you ever wondered how life had been for the #transgender people in the world's largest #refugee settlement? How are they living in #Rohingya camps in🇧🇩? What kind of challenges do they face? Me and my colleague tried to look into that 👇

(Imagined with AI) Recalling the events that took place in 2017 in the #Rohingya villages is a tragedy that will not be forgotten. The brutal and devastating violence led nearly a million Rohingya people to flee their homes in Myanmar and seek refuge in neighboring countries.
Reminds of the racism against Black community when they were marginalized. The picture shows saddening truth of how #Rohingya are treated in modern day Myanmar. While travelling in the same train, Rakhines are allowed to sit on the seats and Rohingyas are on floor or just stand.

This picture was taken from a public train in Sittwe where you can see all the #Rohingyas are sitting on the ground or standing while the Rakhine students got a seat. This is certainly not the worst case of discrimination against Rohingyas in Arakan.

Education of children is critical for any community. More so for #Rohingya#refugees who have been persecuted for decades.
Rohingya teachers know their community best. They are the key to the success of education in the camps and their views must be respected.
Since 2017 when #Rohingya fled to Bangladesh to escape horror in Burma, @USAID, @StatePRM, & partners have provided food, safe water, shelter, education, protection + more
Heart-rending to see how #Rohingya families are struggling to survive after unimaginable genocide 5 years ago. But there’s hope + resilience too in Cox’s Bazar, home now to >1M Rohingya refugees. The US stands with refugees everywhere
Its a great opportunity for all who didnt know about #Rohingya. Dr @Ronan_Lee is a great scholar .His book is based on years of research.He knows too well about #Rohingya & about #Myanmar.
