Burma Human Rights Network’s report: “We also have dreams” Methodology The information in this report was gathered between October 2020 and June of 2021. BHRN interviewed 29 refugees living in 10 different refugee camps in Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh. Interviews were conducted face to face in Rohingya language by one researcher at a time who was a native speaker with the informed consent of participants. BHRN interviewed individuals who were between the ages of fourteen and sixty years old. BHRN intentionally interviewed more women, 68% of participants, than men in order to ensure that their concerns could be given a platform they are often denied. A portion of participants was sought out specifically because of their relationship with trafficking victims. The rest were chosen randomly. All refugees interviewed for this report are mentioned only by gender and age to help protect their identities. The queries posed to refugees were general questions about aid, safety, crime, violence, trafficking, and their outlook on the future. By gathering data on the perspective of refugees, BHRN is seeking to gather an understanding of which issues they themselves find most important. The research also shines an important light on the strained relationships between the refugee community, the host community, the authorities, and the organizations inside the camps. By highlighting these concerns and divides, it is BHRN’s hope that they may better be addressed. The researchers and photographers who worked on this report inside of Bangladesh have chosen to remain anonymous for their own safety. The value of their work can not be overstated and it is our hope that one day soon they can be safely celebrated openly for their amazing contributions. www.bhrn.org.uk 5
