The document discusses the Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh. It provides background on the Rohingya people, explaining that they are a Muslim minority group from Myanmar that has faced persecution and been denied citizenship rights. Over 600,000 Rohingya refugees have fled to Bangladesh since August 2017 to escape violence in Myanmar. This has presented challenges for Bangladesh, including providing humanitarian aid, managing the large influx of refugees, and dealing with the economic, social, and environmental impacts of hosting over 1 million Rohingya refugees. The document examines Bangladesh's response to the crisis and efforts at the international level to address the situation and find solutions.
The Rohingya situation is urgent and complex. The mass exodus of Rohingya is already putting enormous stress on the limited resources of Bangladesh. As more Rohingya arrives on a daily basis, there are a number of states and non-state actors that might try to exploit the security situation in this country. Bangladesh must find a comprehensive solution to the refugee crisis and must work out a cohesive security strategy to deal with all the potential threats. Otherwise, this situation will threaten the security of the state.

Rohingya Crisis in Bangladesh:Challenges and Sustainable SolutionMd. Injamul Huq
Rohingya situation in Bangladesh is one of the vital issue to be solved as early possible.But its not so easy to solve early because of several reason.
The Rohingya people are an ethnic group from Myanmar who have faced persecution due to Burmese ethno-religious nationalist sentiment and lack of international support. Bangladesh, where many Rohingya refugees have fled to since the 1970s, is a least developed country with a huge population and limited resources. The Rohingya crisis has had major economic, social, and environmental impacts on Bangladesh, increasing pressures on employment, land, and waste management. The largest refugee camp, Kutupalong, now houses over 600,000 Rohingya refugees, and 60 new Rohingya babies are born in Bangladesh daily. While humanitarian aid is helping address needs, long-term solutions are still needed to resolve the crisis.
The presentation provides an overview of the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh. It begins with background on the Rohingya people and the historical persecution that caused them to flee to Bangladesh. Over 500,000 Rohingya refugees arrived in Bangladesh in 2017 following violence in Myanmar. The presentation outlines the economic, social, health, environmental and diplomatic impacts of hosting over 1 million Rohingya refugees. It discusses the challenges of supporting the refugees and recommendations for addressing the crisis, including repatriation to Myanmar.
This document outlines strategies for addressing the Rohingya refugee crisis between Bangladesh and Myanmar. It provides historical background on the Rohingya fleeing Myanmar since the 1970s. It discusses the international community's limited role and challenges like many unregistered refugees and security/health issues. Regional initiatives by India and China supporting Myanmar are also covered. The strategies section outlines repatriation agreements between Bangladesh and Myanmar as well as UN involvement. Five-point proposals and recommendations call for constitutional amendments, diplomatic discussions, international intervention, and UN-supervised safe zones.

The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic group who have lived for centuries in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar but currently face severe persecution. They number around 1.1 million but are denied citizenship and basic rights by the Myanmar government. Since the 1970s, the Myanmar military has conducted violent operations against the Rohingya to force them from their homes, resulting in hundreds of thousands becoming refugees in Bangladesh. International support is needed to address this humanitarian crisis and pressure Myanmar to recognize the Rohingya and end systematic human rights abuses against them.
The Rohingya people in Myanmar's Rakhine State have faced decades of persecution, including restrictions on freedom of movement, citizenship, education, and employment. Since 2016, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled military-led violence and taken refuge in Bangladesh. The crisis has been termed an "information blackhole" as Myanmar has not allowed access to human rights groups or media. Aung San Suu Kyi has faced international criticism for her response to the abuses against the Rohingya by the military.
Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic group living primarily in Burma and Bangladesh. [1] They have faced decades of persecution and discrimination. [2] The Burmese government considers them non-citizens and has restricted their basic rights. [3] Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh and other countries to escape abuse. [4] The Rohingya remaining in Burma continue to face human rights violations including rape, forced labor, and destruction of their villages. [5] Long term solutions require changes to government policy and improving community relations and living conditions. [6] International advocacy and support for Rohingya refugees can also help address this humanitarian crisis.
Labor migration in Bangladesh is an important livelihood strategy and source of remittances. There are several types of migration, including internal, international, and seasonal labor migration. International labor migration provides economic benefits like remittances, which contribute to poverty reduction, but faces challenges like low wages, long working hours, and safety issues abroad. The document recommends improving access to training opportunities and legal migration channels to maximize the benefits of labor migration.
Genocide aganinst rohingya muslims a classical model of ethnic cleansingBelayet Hossen
These are slides of article entitled "Genocide against Rohingya Muslims: A Classical Model of Ethnic Cleansing", which were presented in "International Conference on Forced Migration", held between 5th-7th December 2017 at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).
The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority group living in Myanmar who have faced decades of discrimination and human rights abuses. They began fleeing persecution in Myanmar in the 1970s, and over 700,000 now live in refugee camps in Bangladesh. In the camps, Rohingya refugees live in difficult conditions with inadequate access to food, healthcare, education, and other basic services. Their situation remains dire, with many continuing to die from malnutrition, disease, and lack of medical treatment due to overcrowding and insufficient support.
This presentation summarizes the genocide of Bangladesh that occurred in 1971 when the Pakistani occupation army and their collaborators mass killed people in East Pakistan during the war of liberation. It defines genocide as the deliberate killing of a large group of people from a particular nation or ethnic group. It describes how Operation Searchlight marked the beginning of the genocide in March 1971, where Pakistani forces attacked across Dhaka and other cities, killing an estimated 50,000 people in the first three days. No international action was taken against the perpetrators of this genocide, which is considered one of the worst in history, though it drew media attention from July 1971 onwards.
Political and Socio-economic Exploitation of East Pakistan by West Pakistan.Shanawaz Ahamed
Political and socio-economic exploitation of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) by West Pakistan is outlined. Key points of exploitation included:
- West Pakistan dominated political power despite East Pakistan having a larger population
- Bengali language and culture were suppressed in favor of Urdu from West Pakistan
- Vastly disproportionate amounts of government funds and infrastructure development were directed to West Pakistan, stunting East Pakistan's economic growth
- Disparities in education funding and opportunities further marginalized East Pakistan
Forced migration has accompanied persecution, as well as war, throughout human history but has only become a topic of serious study and discussion relatively recently. This increased attention is the result of greater ease of travel, allowing displaced persons to flee to nations far removed from their homes, the creation of an international legal structure of human rights, and the realizations that the destabilizing effects of forced migration, especially in parts of Africa, the Middle East, south and central Asia, ripple out well beyond the immediate region.
Assignment on Poverty Alleviation in BangladeshRejul Khan
The document defines and discusses poverty from several perspectives. It notes that poverty involves lack of basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. Poverty can be absolute, involving deprivation of basic needs, or relative, defined based on economic inequality in a given location. The document also classifies poverty into income poverty, involving insufficient funds, and non-income poverty, where quality of life is poor despite some money due to lack of services and security. It provides statistics on poverty in Bangladesh, finding around 31% of the rural population suffers from chronic poverty with inadequate consumption and nutrition. The top reasons for poverty in Bangladesh are identified as rapid population growth and corruption among high-level officials.
Bangladesh has a high population growth rate, especially in rural villages like Kuliarpar. Four projects are proposed to help address this: Project A would build a secondary school for girls in the village. Project B would provide mobile health services to improve healthcare. Project C would establish a Grameen Bank branch to provide small business loans. Project D would build a hydroelectric dam to provide the village with electricity.
This paper highlights the state of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and also explores several international justice tools to provide justice to this persecuted minority.
The Rohingya people living in Western Myanmar's Rakhine State are a Muslim minority group that has faced widespread discrimination and human rights abuses. They are not recognized as citizens by the Myanmar government and live in conditions of apartheid. Tensions between Buddhists and Muslims in the region date back to British colonial times and WWII, when some Rohingya sided with the Japanese against the British. Today, nationalist rhetoric portraying Rohingya as foreign immigrants threatens further violence, while Aung San Suu Kyi's response has been criticized for not adequately addressing the oppression faced by the Rohingya.
This document provides a summary of Bangladesh's foreign policy under different political regimes, foreign aid, and international cooperation. It discusses how Bangladesh's foreign policy has evolved since independence and been influenced by different ideologies. The summary evaluates foreign policy under the regimes of Sheikh Mujib, Zia, Ershad, Khaleda Zia, and Sheikh Hasina. It notes how relations have varied with countries like India, China, Islamic states, and Western nations depending on the regime. The document also provides an overview of foreign aid to Bangladesh, including its types and development partners. It discusses both the positive impacts of aid but also issues like policy conditionalities and inhibiting domestic growth.

The document summarizes the background and key events leading up to the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. It discusses how East Pakistan, despite having a larger population, was politically dominated by West Pakistan. This caused growing resentment in East Pakistan that escalated after they won a landslide victory in the 1970 election but West Pakistan refused to let them have power. The document outlines the social, political, economic, and cultural discrimination faced by East Pakistanis, as well as important events like the language movement and six point movement that increased calls for independence in East Pakistan and ultimately led to the Bangladesh Liberation War.

The Rohingya refugee crisis has significantly impacted Bangladesh economically, socially, and environmentally. Over 600,000 Rohingya refugees have fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine State since August 2017, straining Bangladesh's resources and increasing pressures on employment, cost of living, education, health services, and the environment through deforestation and waste. While Bangladesh has welcomed refugees, the large population increase poses long-term security risks and could harm Bangladesh's relationships with Myanmar and other countries like China and India, who have supported the Myanmar government's position. Sheikh Hasina's humanitarian response to the crisis has earned her the nickname "Mother of Humanity."

This document discusses the citizenship issues surrounding the Bengali population in Burma's Arakan State, also known as Rohingya. It provides historical context on how Bengalis entered Arakan as laborers under British rule and remained after independence. It argues the Bengalis are not a native ethnic group and should not be granted citizenship under Burma's 1982 citizenship law. The document also discusses the sectarian violence in 2012 between Arakan Buddhists and Bengali Muslims and accusations of human rights abuses. It rejects calls to amend the citizenship law or label Bengalis an indigenous group in Burma.
The document provides background information on federalism and discusses how federalism could help address issues in the Philippines. It defines federalism as a system that shares powers between the federal and regional governments. It notes that most stable countries have federal systems while unitary systems are more prone to corruption. It outlines how federalism could establish powerful economic regions, provide funding support to less developed areas, empower local governments, and provide incentives for development outside Metro Manila. Federalism could also help address the Mindanao conflict and reduce the influence of political dynasties. Overall, the document argues that adopting a federal system in the Philippines could lead to more balanced development, greater local autonomy, and help solve long-standing problems.
This document summarizes the plight of Rohingya refugee children who have fled violence in Myanmar and crossed into Bangladesh. Over half a million refugees, including 340,000 children, are living in dire conditions in overcrowded camps with inadequate access to food, water, sanitation, and other basic needs. The children have witnessed extreme violence and trauma but have little access to education, counseling, or other support services. There is an urgent need for increased humanitarian aid and protection for these vulnerable children.
The document discusses the plight of the Rohingya people in Myanmar and their refugee crisis. It notes that the Rohingya have faced decades of persecution in Myanmar and were stripped of citizenship rights, leading hundreds of thousands to flee as refugees. Many Rohingya refugees have sought shelter in neighboring countries like Malaysia, but countries struggle with the influx. The document outlines Malaysia's response, which has been to provide temporary protection, services, and advocate for a peaceful solution through international cooperation and dialogue to address the root causes in Myanmar.
This document discusses human rights for refugees and provides information about refugee laws and conventions. It begins with an introduction defining what constitutes a refugee under international law. It then discusses the objectives of refugee camps, including providing protection and assistance to refugees. Finally, it concludes that while there are international conventions regarding refugees, the issue still poses many challenges and there is a need for India to establish its own refugee laws to better protect and support refugees within its borders.
The document discusses the Rohingya crisis, providing background on who the Rohingya people are, the history of their persecution in Myanmar, and the challenges now facing Bangladesh due to the large influx of Rohingya refugees. Specifically, it notes that the Rohingya are a Muslim minority in Myanmar who have been denied citizenship and face ethnic and religious prosecution. Over 700,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh to escape violence by Myanmar security forces in recent years. It examines the international political dynamics around the crisis and how the crisis could be resolved through stronger foreign policies, international awareness, fulfilling UN recommendations, and concern from the global Muslim community.
MHRD Asia Pacific - Global Classroom paperNatalie Lowrey
Between 9-13 May 2016 the fourth edition of the Global Classroom was held in Lido, Venice, Italy at the European Inter-University Centre of Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC). This annual event is part of the activities carried out by the Global Campus partners in order to promote education and research on human rights and democracy worldwide and to provide a forum of discussion and additional tools of academic interaction. The Global Classroom theme for this year was Intractable human rights situations and failed international responses to crises.
The MHRD Asia Pacific program was represented by four students, Hamza Khan (Pakistan), Natalie Lowrey (New Zealand/Australia), Hosana Chay (Myanmar), Catherine Bolinga (Papua New Guinea) presenting on 'The case of the plight of refugee and refugee like situations in Asia and Pacific'.
The 2016 Global Classroom gathered professors and students from the seven Regional Master’s programme of the Global Campus which take place in five continents. Also in attendance were international experts from the United Nations and civil society organisations. The international forum focused on presentations and discussions about complex human rights situations around the world that have arisen from persistent and unresolved conflicts, natural disasters, and the lack of regional or international collective responses to crises.
Current and intractable crises around the globe, including different responses from international community to these highly complex human rights situations, were discussed from different angles and persepctives. These included the refugee crisis in Europe, the Mena region and the Asia Pacific, a comparative analysis of the socio-economic situation of Burundi and Rwanda and the human rights crises in Haiti.

This document discusses the plight of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and the principle of non-refoulement under international law. It notes that over 1 million Rohingya have fled Myanmar due to persecution and ethnic cleansing. While Bangladesh hosts many refugees, it has refouled some back to Myanmar where they face risks. The document argues that non-refoulement is a peremptory norm, and that Bangladesh has obligations under international treaties like the ICCPR to not return refugees to situations where they may face persecution or harm.

Final Paper INR4630-Liberalism on GenocideMadison S
The document discusses the plight of the Rohingya people in Myanmar and whether genocide is occurring against them. It provides background on the Rohingya's treatment, including being denied citizenship and forced into camps, and restrictions on basic rights and access to healthcare. While the U.S. State Department does not believe genocide is taking place, other analyses conclude the acts meet the definition of genocide in international law. However, countries are reluctant to recognize it as genocide due to strategic and economic interests in Myanmar as it transitions to democracy. The future of the Rohingya remains uncertain as long as their human rights violations are ignored.

New project safeguards Rohingya refugees; boosts local farming – UN migration agency
This document discusses forced migration using the examples of Rohingya refugees and Syrian refugees. It defines forced migration as migration caused by conflicts, persecution, disasters or development projects. The Rohingya crisis is discussed, explaining how Rohingya faced discrimination in Burma based on their ethnicity, language and religion, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee to Bangladesh and India. The Syrian refugee crisis is also summarized, outlining how the Syrian civil war since 2011 has displaced millions of Syrians internally and to neighboring countries like Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. In both cases, refugees face challenges in meeting basic needs and lack of protection in host countries.
The number of refugees arriving in Brazil has increased dramatically in recent years, rising over 1466% from 2010 to 2014.

While Brazil has expressed a willingness to welcome refugees through international agreements and statements by the president, there is still a need for coordinated national public policies on refugee issues and immigration to facilitate social, cultural and economic inclusion of refugees in Brazil. The experiences of refugees seeking to rebuild their lives underscores the ongoing responsibilities of states in protecting displaced people and addressing the root causes of conflicts that generate mass human displacement.

Myanmar: Quash Conviction of Former Child Soldier
Protect Victims of Underage Military Recruitment
Since 2013, Bangladesh has experienced a series of violent attacks targeting religious minorities. These attacks have highlighted the lack of protection for minority rights in the face of rising religious extremism. However, the situation of religious minorities is also shaped by wider historical and social factors. Bangladesh's religious minorities have long faced discrimination that can be traced back to the country's independence movement and the legacy of its partition from Pakistan in 1947. Despite early constitutional protections, the establishment of an Islamic identity has marginalized minorities over time. Recent violence must be addressed, but lasting change requires challenging prejudice, reforming institutions, and ensuring religious freedom and expression for all.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

5. Introduction
5
The Rohingyas are one of the most Persecuted Communities in
the world
They have been living in the state of Arakan since the 8th
Century.
They have been under extreme scrutiny by the Burmese
government.
They haven't been recognized as citizens of The Union of Burma
since Burmese independence in 1948, instead they are known
as 'Non Citizens‘.
The majority are Muslim while a minority are Hindu.
Fahim
6. Why the Rohingyas are in Trouble?
Fahim
The Burmese Military have discriminated the Rohingya,
because they are not similar in Looks, Speak A Different
Language, Have A Different Religion.
As a means of clamping down on the Rohingya, the Military
have restricted even the most basic of Rights Such As
Education, Marriage And Citizenship.
The Burmese government endorse the Burmese Culture and
the Buddhist faith for their National Citizens.
As a result, the Rohingyas, have to live with their Derogatory
National status of 'non-citizens‘.

7. Human rights abuses against the Rohingyas in Burma
7
The Rohingya people have been described as
"One Of The World's Least Wanted
Minorities" and "some of the world's most
persecuted people“.
They have been denied Burmese citizenship
since the 1982 nationality law was enacted. Post
the 1982 law, Burma has had different types of
citizenship.
Citizens were possessed Red Identity Cards;
Rohingyas were given white cards, essentially
labeling them as foreigners in Burma.
The citizenship law also significantly underlies
the human rights violations against the Rohingya
by the military.

8. Before the 2015 Rohingya refugee crisis and the military crackdown in 2016
and 2017, the Rohingya population in Myanmar was around 1.0 to 1.3 million,
chiefly in the northern Rakhine townships, which were 80–98% Rohingya.
Since 25 August 2017 To 25 October 2017, over 605,000 Rohingya
refugees have fled to South Eastern Bangladesh (Cox’s Bazar District)
alone, and more to other surrounding countries, and major Muslim nations.
Shortly before a Rohingya Rebel Attack That Killed 12 Security Forces,
August 25, 2017, the Myanmar military had launched "Clearance
Operations" against the Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state that left over
3,000 Dead, many more injured, tortured or raped, villages burned.
According to Refugee Relief And Repatriation Commission, About
821,000 Rohingyas entered Bangladesh until November 5,2017.
Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas of Cox’s Bazar are the focal areas of Rohingya
camps.
Except these two areas, about 200,000 Rohingyas are living in the
surrounding area of Ramu, Cox’s Bazar pourosova, Bandarban, Chattogram
and other areas of Chattogram district.

Killing and torture of the Rohingyas in Myanmar started
afresh in 2017.
According to the office of the Cox’s Bazar District
Commissioner, from 25 August, 2017 to 25 October 2017, a
total of 605,000 Rohingyas have arrived in Cox’s Bazar
district of Bangladesh.
Around 203,431 Rohingyas were already living in Ukhiya and
Teknaf upazila of Cox’s Bazar who entered Bangladesh
during July 2005- 24 August 2017.
Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas of Cox’s Bazar are the focal
areas of Rohingya camps.
Except these two areas, about 200,000 Rohingyas are living
in the surrounding area of Ramu, Cox’s Bazar pourosova,
Bandarban, Chittagong and other areas of Chittagong district.

Dealing With The Recent Challenges
How to humanitarian Support for Rohingyas ?
The Ministry of Disaster Management and RELIEF OF THE GOB and
Several National and International Organizations have been providing
humanitarian support to the Rohingyas.
At a pledging conference in Geneva organized by the United Nations And The
European Union (EU), a total of US$ 434 Million was sought as humanitarian
assistance to the Rohingya people.
According to UN website total incoming fund is equivalent to USD 143.19
MILLION AS OF 10 NOVEMBER 2017 which is 33% Of Appeal Fund.

Diplomatic feat around of Rohingya issue
The UNHCR has termed the atrocities against the Rohingyas in Myanmar as ethnic
cleansing.
The Four-point proposal that the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina placed at the 72nd
UNGA session on Sept 21 includes-:
Myanmar must unconditionally stop the violence and the practice of ethnic
cleansing in the Rakhine State immediately and forever.
Secretary General of the United Nations should immediately send a Fact-Finding
Mission to Myanmar.
All civilians irrespective of religion and ethnicity must be protected in Myanmar.
For that "safe zones“ could be created inside Myanmar under UN supervision.
Ensure sustainable return of all forcibly displaced Rohingyas in Bangladesh to
their homes in Myanmar.

Security and Border Cooperation.
They agreed to take concrete efforts and measures for Safe, Honor Able And
Secured Return of the Rohingyas to their home land Myanmar.
They Agreed To Restore Normalcy in The Rakhine State to enable the
displaced Myanmar citizen to return to their home land at the earliest.

Legal Status of Rohingyas
Rohingyas have been Suffering From Identify Crisis for long.
The Myanmar government identifies them as “Illegal Bengali Immigrants
To Myanmar”.
Bangladesh has strongly opposed Myanmar’s Official Position on the
ethnic identity of the Rohingyas as “illegal Bengali immigrants to Myanmar”.
The government of Bangladesh does not recognize them as Rohingya
refugees from Myanmar and has defined them as “Forcefully Displaced
Myanmar Citizens”.
Bangladesh has been issuing identity cards to the Rohingyas as Myanmar
Nationals.
These Myanmar Nationals have been Biometrically Registered By
Immigration And Passport Department of Bangladesh. The Registered
Rohingyas receive Three types of humanitarian support including Relief,
Medical Support And Shelter.
14. How many impact of the Rohingya crisis Challenges on Bangladesh?
Economic Impact
Pressure On Employment : There were several indications of changing structure of
the employment in the local economy
Loss of Tourism (Especially in St. Martin): Tour Operators in Cox’s Bazar claim that
“risk of losing more than a million tourists this season.
Social Impact
Population and Child Birth: Rohingyas lack awareness regarding family planning.
The Rohingya population in the camps is likely to increase in the coming days which
will put further pressure on food, employment, health and other basic needs.
Major Needs of The Rohingyas: It was evident that their major problems were Water,
Bathing place for women, Sanitation, Cooking fuel.
14
Bangladesh will face several challenges due to the emergent Rohingya crisis from 3
main aspects –economic, social and environmental. The extent of the impact of such
challenges will depend on the length of stay of the Rohingyas.

Social Implications of the Rohingya Crisis for Bangladesh (cont’d)
Health Concerns
Each latrine is dedicated for 10 families (60 people) while each of
their tube-well is placed for 50 families.
Concerns exist regarding the latrine pits as some latrines have 2-3
rings which means they get filled up fast.
Families often show reluctance to accept new and better latrines
because they believe the new ones would be like the old ones.
The children in the camps either have no shoes or do not want to
wear them at all. Hence, there is a high risk of diseases.
Moreover, the makeshift shelters do not have any windows. With
cooking done mostly indoors, the risk of respiratory infection is
high.

Social Implications of the Rohingya Crisis for Bangladesh (cont’d)
Education
The implications of education are two-fold- for locals and the Rohingyas
Locals Rohingyas
Some schools are being used as
military barracks to hold the soldiers.
The schools in the new campus do not teach
Bangla.
Students are skipping colleges to
work in the camps.
Many families send their children to Maqtabs
in the camps.

Social Implications of the Rohingya Crisis for Bangladesh (cont’d)
Law and Order
Human Trafficking:
Newspaper reports indicates that crime syndicates involved in Rohingya trafficking
charge between BDT 20,000 and BDT 50,000 to smuggle the Rohingyas who are
reluctant to stay in the camps.
Fake Identity: Several respondents reported that many old entrants have paid
bribes to third parties to gain Bangladeshi identification.
Drug Cartel: Local representatives and aid workers fear that the Rohingyas might
be allured into distribution of drugs.
SIM Cards: Some Rohingyas posses Bangladeshi SIM cards. Many new
Rohingyas have access to mobile phones. They pay Tk. 5-10 to get their phones
charged. This is worrying since the Government of Bangladesh has banned
telecom operators from selling SIMs to the Rohingyas.
18. Impact of the Rohingya crisis Challenges on Bangladesh
Deforestation :
Total Forest Area in Cox’s Bazar (2016): 2,092,016 acres
Due to Rohingya influx, initial loss of forest area: 3,500 acres
Which is equivalent to 1.67% loss in Cox’s bazar forest area and 0.05% loss in total
national forest area.
The value of forest land occupied by the Rohingyas has been estimated to be BDT
500 crore.
Land Degradation
Waste Management: Drinking water are supplied to the Rohingya camps through
plastic container that is another non disposable item and harmful for the environment.
Air Pollution: "Indoor air pollution can affect health and here in the camps, people are
highly dependent on inefficient stoves. The smoke from firewood is increasing health
risks. Respiratory infections, breathing problems are common among the camp’s
residents.”

Environmental Impact

19. The humanitarian support currently provided by the International
Organization will not continue for a long period.
The extent of government expenditure for the Rohingyas will depend on
the length of stay of the Rohingyas.
Hence, the burden will befall on the government of Bangladesh.
Discussions are on going for loan from the World Bank.
TOTAL COST TO GOB USD 167.8 MILLION OR BDT 1,356 CRORE

20. Conclusions and Recommendations
Dider Alam 20
The Rohingya crisis has given rise to multi-dimensional problem for
Bangladesh.
While the government of Bangladesh and international and non government
organizations are playing the critical role to provide humanitarian support to
the Rohingyas, major global players are yet to take strong positions in
resolving the crisis.
The Government of Bangladesh has to continue energetic diplomacy,
particularly with the regional partners to solve the problem.
Support for the Rohingyas from the donors such as the World Bank should in
the form of grants only. Hence, World Bank’s grant and loan components
should be unpacked.
Security measures in the Rohingya camps and adjacent areas, particularly in
the Southern of the country have to be strengthened. The law enforcing
agencies have to be vigilant to stop illegal activities, drug trade, trafficking and
terrorism.
