Burma Human Rights Network’s report: “We also have dreams” To the International Community: 1. The international community must exercise diplomatic efforts with Bangladesh to allow for the resettlementriation of Rohingya into third countries. 2. The international community must work with the UN to increase the food supply for refugees while also working with Bangladesh to develop livelihood programs that will reduce dependency on aid over time. 3. The international community must work with the UN and Bangladesh authorities to develop adequate and sufficient healthcare options for Rohingya who become sick or injured, including women and children. These programs should also help to train staff in the camps and neighboring communities on how to establish a relationship of trust with patients. 4. The UN and countries with strong human rights records should work with the Bangladesh authorities on training for security forces in the camps to ensure a safer environment for refugees. 5. UN agencies and NGOs operating inside the camps should increase their efforts to address sexual and gender-based violence and trafficking inside the camps. 6. Ensure that hygiene kits responding to the needs of women and girls are made available to the community. To the Government of Myanmar: 1. The National Unity Government must present a clear plan on how they will facilitate the safe and voluntary return of the Rohingya, that includes recognition as an ethnic group, full citizenship, and equal rights. 2. The National Unity Government must ensure that any plan to ensure the safe and sustainable repatriation of Rohingya refugees includes steps to return them to their places of origin and provides reparation for their lost and destroyed properties, as per international standards. 3. The National Unity Government should develop and present a plan for how they will reconcile the Rohingya and Rakhine communities that will allow both groups to live peacefully and have a chance to prosper. www.bhrn.org.uk 53
