Tents in a refugee camp
Julie Ricard

In this Humanitarian Governance webinar, the speakers will discuss the vulnerable situation of the Rohingya in Cox's Bazar refugee camp in Bangladesh.

The Rohingya influx in Bangladesh is not new with the country witnessing a few episodes of Rohingya influx in the past decades. 

The 2017 influx was one of the most significant, when nearly a million Rohingya entered Bangladesh and sought refuge to escape the devastating ‘genocide’ in Myanmar. This most recent Rohingya crisis is now in its seventh year, but the Rohingya have yet to see any sustainable solution, and not a single Rohingya was repatriated to Myanmar. 

The talk will delve into the vulnerable situation of the Rohingya in one of the largest makeshift refugee camps - Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. The talk will also address the possible sustainable and long-term solutions that include relocation, integration and repatriation.

There will also be time for a short Q&A.

Speakers 

The webinar will also include a reflection from Dr Zeynep Kaslı (ISS) and Anila Noor (Refugee Activist, UNHCR/EC/WTO expert on migration) around forced migration, borders, and integration.
