Bangladesh Family: Rohingyas and Rohingya Civilians

bangladesh family: Her parents fled to these camps with 200,000 other Rohingyas running from violent ethnic tensions eight years ago. ; More than half a million new refugees escaped the violence in Myanmar over the last few months, in what experts call 'textbook ethnic cleansing.' Rohingyas say they had to run after Myanmar soldiers and local mobs attacked, raped and killed Rohingya civilians and burned down their villages, according to National Observer. And it's not the first time Rohingyas have crossed over escaping violence. The trafficker promised her parents a lot of money if Tahera could work as a domestic worker for a Bangladesh family. Over the past several decades, Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh from Myanmar. As a country policy, Rohingya refugees like Tahera and her parents are not legally allowed to work while living in Bangladesh camps. Human Rights Watch reports that the Rohingya, a Muslim minority of 1.2 million in Myanmar, are vulnerable to systemic human rights violations as they are viewed as illegal migrants in Myanmar and are not granted citizenship or given access to education and healthcare.
