Burma Human Rights Network’s report: “We also have dreams” and NGOs to step back and reflect on what shortcomings allowed for this situation to emerge and what they can do to ensure it doesn’t happen again. If the situation is not adequately addressed, then more and more security voids will be filled by militant groups, criminal organizations, and vigilantes. “Yes, there are some sorts of different gangs here, but I don’t know their names. It’s said that a few groups among them here are quite supportive of our community, as these groups protect people in the community from sneaky behaviors or robberies by Bangladeshi or Rohingya criminals. As there were no groups here before, and our girls used to be taken at night by the Bangladeshis. So, we think it’s good for us to have such groups here,” A 28-year-old male refugee told BHRN. The mention of Bangladeshis taking girls at night is a reference to widespread reports of traffickers kidnapping women and girls and forcing them into sex slavery in brothels in Bangladesh and possibly abroad. Reports of such kidnappings are common but BHRN was unable to speak with any family members of victims. www.bhrn.org.uk 29
