SERVING FOR
OUR MISSION
Our main mission is to highlight violated Human Rights of minorities, especially of Rohingya community that is said to be the most persecuted community in the world. Our organization carries out its activities in India and monitors closely the conditions of Rohingyas all around the world as well as the recent developments in the Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh.
ROHRIngya was formed as a result of continuous inhumane treatment, legal and social discrimination of the Rohingya people. The 1982 Citizenship Law deprived the Rohingyas and some other ethnic minorities of citizenship of Myanmar and imposed many restrictions on these communities. Since then, many military operations against Rohingya civilians took place in Rakhine State (former Arakan State) in Myanmar. Rohingya people have been deprived of their rights for decades. Following repeated violent incidents in Rakhine state, there is nowadays a record number of Rohingyas seeking a safe haven in neighbouring countries, especially in Bangladesh, and a high number of IDPs (internally displaced persons) across whole Myanmar.
Rohingya Refugee Crisis started being more widely covered by the international media after the extremely violent incidents of 25 August 2017, when more than 700 000 Rohingyas had to flee from Rakhine State into neighbouring Bangladesh. Myanmar’s military nowadays still continues to carry out violent military operation against Rohingyas. Therefore our aim is to inform about these inhumane incidents and to highlight this issue internationally in order to help Rohingya people avoid suffering and live in peace.
