#we are rohingya

[onehundredrolls]

new waves of violence are being committed against the rohingya in rakhine state, forcing many across the border into overpopulated camps here in bangladesh. aung san suu kyi and the myanmar military must be held accountable. _______________ follow @onehundrolls on a tour through the cities, villages and camps where the #stateless #rohingya live, work, play, and fight for their survival. the roughly 3 million rohingyas that make up this muslim minority have been rendered stateless officially since 1982 and even with a supposedly democratic party taking office last year, the myanmar government has done nothing to quell the persecution they suffer. with little to no access to education, healthcare, or clean water and food, the rohingya are completely unprotected and are consistently victims of severe human rights abuses. this slow genocide must stop. the rohingya must be recognized.

an already impoverished and overpopulated country, bangladesh is an unreliable host for he rohingya who have fled here. along these beaches in shamlapur, men start and end their days getting large fishing boats in and out of the water with rudimentary barrows. children play or collect scraps of plastic and metal to either sell or help build their makeshift homes. _______________ follow @onehundrolls on a tour through the cities, villages and camps where the #stateless #rohingya live, work, play, and fight for their survival. the roughly 3 million rohingyas that make up this muslim minority have been rendered stateless officially since 1982 and even with a supposedly democratic party taking office last year, the myanmar government has done nothing to quell the persecution they suffer. with little to no access to education, healthcare, or clean water and food, the rohingya are completely unprotected and are consistently victims of severe human rights abuses. this slow genocide must stop. the rohingya must be recognized.

fearing arrest or worse, many rohingya feel confined to the remote villages where they have sought refuge. children have no choice but to help support their families. humanitarian organizations have limited access to the rohingya in bangladesh and malnutrition is widespread. curable diseases go untreated. _______________ follow @onehundrolls on a tour through the cities, villages and camps where the #stateless #rohingya live, work, play, and fight for their survival. the roughly 3 million rohingyas that make up this muslim minority have been rendered stateless officially since 1982 and even with a supposedly democratic party taking office last year, the myanmar government has done nothing to quell the persecution they suffer. with little to no access to education, healthcare, or clean water and food, the rohingya are completely unprotected and are consistently victims of severe human rights abuses. this slow genocide must stop. the rohingya must be recognized.

many schools, set up by intl ngo's, have limited space or have been abandoned. this makes it very difficult for rohingya children to acquire education, even on a primary level. _______________ follow @onehundrolls on a tour through the cities, villages and camps where the #stateless #rohingya live, work, play, and fight for their survival. the roughly 3 million rohingyas that make up this muslim minority have been rendered stateless officially since 1982 and even with a supposedly democratic party taking office last year, the myanmar government has done nothing to quell the persecution they suffer. with little to no access to education, healthcare, or clean water and food, the rohingya are completely unprotected and are consistently victims of severe human rights abuses. this slow genocide must stop. the rohingya must be recognized.
