Cox’s Bazar is home to around one million largely Muslim Rohingya minority members who fled a brutal military crackdown in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.
Sexual harassment is the biggest concern according to Tamazer Ahmed, policy, research and advocacy manager at ActionAid.
Participants reported violence was meted out not only by men known to their families but also by members of the Armed Police Battalion.
Rohingya women and adolescents often fall victim to molestation, rape, trafficking, poverty, educational exclusion, and even death according to Ahmed.
They were also vulnerable at distribution centres, hospitals, schools and madrassas, border zones and even within relatives’ homes.
The views of Rohingya women mostly aged sixteen to thirty years were central to the research.
They also called for engaging men in prevention efforts and expanding access to education and livelihoods.
Kausar Sikdar, commanding officer of APBN, said they were not aware of any such allegations against the force.
