Rohingya Crisis - Improving Child Protection in Bangladesh - DRC 2020
FY 2019-20 · 2020-03-30
Summary
March 2020 – Following the outbreak of violence in Northern Rakhine State in August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingya people crossed from Myanmar into Bangladesh over a period of several months. Currently, there are approximately 855,000 Rohingya refugees living in 34 highly congested settlements in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The speed and scale of the influx has resulted in significant humanitarian needs.
With GAC’s support, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is providing comprehensive protection programming for children at heightened risk of trafficking and abuse, focusing on prevention and response through a community-based approach. Project activities include: (1) providing gender-sensitive case management support for child survivors and children and adolescents at risk of protection violations; (2) disseminating information to other agencies on referral pathways for case management services for children; (3) providing family tracing and reunification support to unaccompanied and separated children; (4) providing training to local agencies and community volunteers on identification, referral and response; and (5) offering gender-sensitive life and vocational skills programs to children and adolescents.

Description (French)
Mars 2020 – À la suite de l’explosion de violence dans le nord de l’État de Rakhine en août 2017, plus de 700 000 Rohingyas sont passés du Myanmar au Bangladesh en quelques mois. Actuellement, il y a environ 855 000 réfugiés rohingyas vivant dans 34 colonies très entassées à Cox’s Bazar, au Bangladesh. La rapidité et l’ampleur de l’afflux ont entraîné d’importants besoins humanitaires.
Avec le soutien d’AMC, le Danish Refugee Council (DRC) fournit une programme de protection complet pour les enfants qui courent un risque accru de trafic et d’abus, en se concentrant sur la prévention et l’intervention par une approche communautaire. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) fournir une aide à la gestion des cas tenant compte des différences entre les sexes pour les enfants survivants et les enfants et adolescents qui risquent de subir des violations de leur protection; 2) diffuser des renseignements à d’autres organismes sur les voies d’orientation vers des services de gestion de cas pour les enfants; 3) offrir une aide à la recherche et à la réunification des familles pour les enfants non accompagnés et séparés de leur famille; 4) offrir une formation aux organismes locaux et aux bénévoles de la communauté sur l’identification, l’orientation et l’intervention; 5) offrir aux enfants et aux adolescents des programmes de compétences professionnelles et de dynamique de la vie sensibles à la spécificité des sexes.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to coordinated and gender-sensitive child protection services for child survivors and children facing life-threatening risks of abuse, neglect, violence, exploitation and severe distress; and (2) enhanced community-based child protection mechanisms that alleviate community child protection risks.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in communities experiencing humanitarian crises or that are food insecure.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) un accès accru à des services de protection de l’enfance coordonnés et sensibles à la spécificité des sexes pour les enfants survivants et les enfants exposés à des risques d’abus, de négligence, de violence, d’exploitation et de détresse grave mettant leur vie en danger; 2) des mécanismes communautaires de protection de l’enfance renforcés qui atténuent les risques de protection de l’enfance à l’échelle communautaire.
Le résultat ultime escompté est : des vies sauvées, la souffrance atténuée et la dignité humaine préservée dans les pays qui font face à une crise humanitaire ou à une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
