Cultural Education for Stateless Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh

Description

Rohingya people have been persecuted by the ruling Myanmar junta for decades. The decade-long torture and humiliation resulted in a huge influx of the Rohingya people from Myanmar to neighboring Bangladesh.
As a local from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, I started working with different news and humanitarian agencies as a translator, interpreter, and transcriber. During my work with the Rohingya refugees in the Bangladesh Rohingya camps, I followed their culture very deeply and felt that their culture needs some kind of redefinition. Thus, it requires efforts to protect it.
I worked in the Rohingya Humanitarian Response with Handicap International, Danish Refugee Council, Social Impact, MSF, Norwegian Refugee Council, UTSA, YPSA, Islamic Relief USA, and Cox’s Bazar Chamber of Commerce & Industries in different capacities.
This is a little effort to see the culture of this ill-fated, tortured ethnic group, and I tried to recommend how to protect their indigenous culture.
