⏵ Acknowledgement We express our deepest gratitude to the funder whose generous funding made this report possible. Without their support, our efforts to document the atrocities and lived realities of the Rohingya people in Rakhine would have remained unfulfilled. It is through their financial contribution that our ideas were transformed into this comprehensive documentation of persecution and suffering, and for this, we thank them sincerely from the heart. We are equally indebted to the victims who courageously came forward to share their testimonies of violence and displacement. Despite the pervasive climate of surveillance, fear, and threats to personal safety, their willingness to speak out has been invaluable. In particular, we extend profound respect and gratitude to the survivors of sexual violence who, despite the stigma and silence that often surrounds such acts, bravely recounted their traumatic experiences. Their voices for this report serve as a testament to their resilience and strength. We also acknowledge the tireless work of our research team, the principal researcher, R4R office staff, ground team in Sittwe, Rakhine state and Yangon, Myanmar and dedicated volunteers, whose commitment and perseverance brought this report to completion. Their collaborative efforts, often in challenging and high-risk conditions, have been instrumental in every stage of this project. Additionally, we extend our thanks to human rights organizations, activists, and allied networks whose support and guidance, whether direct or indirect, provided vital assistance in shaping this report. We are grateful to our anonymous friends in Delhi who extended their help in countless ways, both big and small, enabling us to navigate obstacles and sustain our work during difficult times. To all those mentioned and many unnamed, this report stands as a collective achievement made possible by your trust, courage, and energetic support. Finally, we are grateful to everyone who helped improve this document. Thank you to the reviewers, Dr. Natalie Brinham, and the R4R editor team for their valuable edits and suggestions. We also appreciate support and are highly thankful to the graphic designer and photo contributors for their great work. 101
