Dangerous Journeys through Myanmar: Insecurities and Immobilities for Rohingya and Muslim Women in Post-Coup Myanmar

Documents

Description: Intersectional forms of discrimination mean that Rohingya women and girls in Rakhine State are particularly impacted. Increased vulnerabilities for Rohingya women and girls compel them to leave their homes in Rakhine State to seek security and stability in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, as well as in Bangladesh, India and beyond. Compounded by the precariousness of their situations at home, experiences of forced migration can quickly turn to violence, exploitation and extortion during the journey or at the destination stage.

This paper is focused on the situation in Myanmar and explores the structural factors that drive Rohingya women and girls to take dangerous journeys in search of safety and security, as well as the different forms of abuse and exploitation they encounter en route in Myanmar.
