Rohingya 21 GENOCIDE DAY Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day is observed annually on August 25 to honor the memory of the thousands of Rohingya Muslims who were killed and displaced during the violent military crackdown in Myanmar's Rakhine State in 2017. This day serves not only as a somber reflection on the atrocities committed—marked by mass killings, sexual violence, and the forced displacement of over 700,000 Rohingya to neighboring Bangladesh—but also as a call for justice and accountability. International organizations and Rohingya advocates use the day to raise awareness of the ongoing humanitarian crisis and to push for legal action against the perpetrators of the genocide
