The New Humanitarian

Objet publié

This project aims to provide an inside view and highlight neglected stories of the Rohingya Crisis in Bangladesh and Myanmar. It also provides more field-based and gender perspectives from the front lines of this global humanitarian crisis, and encourages more representative media coverage on gender issues. Project activities include: (1) increasing coverage of the Rohingya Crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh, with special attention to young women leaders, political systems, and entrepreneurship in the Rohingya refugee camps; (2) amplifying the voices and stories of women and girls in humanitarian settings in mainstream media coverage; (3) conducting field reporting on mass displacement and refugee issues; and (4) analyzing aid policy to inform effective and accountable crisis prevention and response. This project is being implemented by IRIN, a non-profit association whose mission is to put independent journalism at the service of the millions of people affected by humanitarian crises.
