2/ The international community must take immediate action to protect #Rohingya genocide victims & survivors from more atrocities & displacement. I fear that Rohingya remaining in #Burma will be forced into IDP camps, under even more apartheid conditions.

1/ As we speak, #Rohingya villages in Buthidaung, northern #Rakhine State are being burned down & Rohingya are once again being forcibly displaced while indiscriminately targeted for killing.

We are witnessing a situation similar to, if not worse than, that of 2017 in #Myanmar .

Inaction and other failures from the international community were chief causes of the 2017 genocide against #Rohingya .

Now, with the very existence of Rohingya threatened once again, we're seeing the same mistakes.

It's past time to act. twitter.com/WomensPeaceNW/…

🚨'We had to force ourselves to get married for better chance of avoiding conscription law'

In #Myanmar , youth are taking more extreme measures to protect themselves from junta. Women particularly forced into marriage as escape, worsening gender dynamics.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…

Impunity for systemic sexual and gender-based violence has been a hallmark of the military's hold on power for decades.

Tomorrow's UN Security Council meeting on #CRSV is a critical opportunity for commitment to breaking this cycle of impunity. twitter.com/WomensPeaceNW/…

👉Ce qui est particulièrement inquiétant, c'est qu'alors qu'en 2017, les #Rohingya étaient pris pour cible par un seul groupe, ils sont désormais pris au piège entre 2 factions armées qui ont pour antécédents de les tuer.
