During the visit of the U.S. Special Envoy for South and Central Asia, Rohingya refugees, led by the United Council of Rohingya (UCR), held a peaceful demonstration to raise their voices for the safe, voluntary, and dignified repatriation of Rohingya refugees to Arakan State, Myanmar. They called for equal rights, citizenship, dignity, and security in their homeland.
The demonstrators also urged the international community to continue providing humanitarian assistance to Rohingya refugees and to take stronger international action to ensure accountability for the genocide and other atrocities committed against the Rohingya by the Myanmar military.
Once, Arakan was blessed with abundant natural beauty, where people cultivated and traded a variety of fruits. Beneath the shade of towering trees, they would gather to rest, share stories, exchange gossip, and listen to the latest news from their community.
At times, the elders recited traditional poems, and villagers gathered around to listen, preserving their rich cultural heritage through oral storytelling and verse.
In the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, people are unable to experience that same sense of peace because of the overcrowded living conditions and the limited presence of trees and natural spaces.
The tranquil environment that once surrounded their daily lives in Arakan has been replaced by densely packed shelters and a constant struggle for space.

Unity is our strongest weapon in overcoming the challenges, struggles, and hardships faced by our community. When we stand together, we become stronger and better able to protect one another. A united community is essential in preventing child kidnapping in the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh.
To protect our children from kidnappers, every parent, guardian, and community member must remain vigilant and responsible. Children should never be left unattended when they are outside their shelters, and everyone should immediately report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.
We also urge all community leaders, volunteers, and NGO teachers to raise awareness and pay close attention to this critical issue. By working together, we can create a safer environment for every child.
We sincerely thank the Government of Bangladesh and all relevant organizations and humanitarian actors for their continued efforts to prevent child kidnapping and improve the safety and security of the Rohingya refugee camps.

These experiences shaped his resilience, patience, and determination to learn and serve others.

Life in the refugee camp has been challenging, but it has strengthened his determination to continue learning and serving his community. He has been in a teaching role since 2018 and worked to support children’s learning while participating in professional training to improve his teaching skills. “My goal is to inspire students, promote quality education and contribute positively to the Rohingya community.” Harun said.
