Human Rights & Politics

Non-violent advocacy for citizenship, recognition, and accountability — carrying the Rohingya voice into the rooms where decisions are made.

The program

Rights are won in rooms, not given

The Rohingya crisis is at its core a political one: a people stripped of citizenship by law. Restoring those rights requires sustained, disciplined engagement with the institutions that can change them.

Mr. President,

For decades, the Rohingya people have been subjected to systematic persecution, discrimination, and violent campaigns of ethnic cleansing. These abuses have escalated to the level of genocide, as documented by the United Nations and multiple human rights organizations.

Neither the Burmese military regime nor the Arakan Army (AA) recognizes the Rohingya people as an indigenous community. Both have committed grave atrocities, human rights abuses, mass killings, arbitrary arrests, and forced displacement against our people.
