Webinar: The ongoing genocide against the Rohingya people

This webinar, hosted by the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security in partnership with FORSEA (Forces of Renewal Southeast Asia), will bring attention to the ongoing genocide faced by the Rohingya people, the hard work being done by Rohingya youth to keep their community and their identity alive in ever-worsening circumstances, and the prospects for their safe return to a future Myanmar that is free from the Tatmadaw.

The Rohingya people have faced marginalization, erasure, and genocide since the founding of the independent state of Burma (Myanmar) in 1948. In 2017 the Myanmar Army, known as the Tatmadaw, launched a series of attacks on the Rohingya that were clearly motivated by genocidal intent. Similar attacks have continued since the Myanmar civil war began in 2021. As a result, almost 90 percent of the Rohingya people have been displaced, most to Cox’s Bazar in neighboring Bangladesh.
