ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Portrait of a young Rohingya refugee. Rohingya are a Muslim minority from north Rakhine, a small region in Myanmar. The military government denied them the citizenship, reducing their status as a stateless group. They were denied the right to own land and property, exposed them to forced labour and routine violence, as rape and killings.
For survive, Rohingya crossed the border with Bangladesh: since 2017, more than one million and half people arrived in Cox's Bazar area and surviving in huge refugee camps.
This is not an event from the past. It's happening.
