Résumé
February 2022 – 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, close to 1 million Rohingya refugees live in 33 highly congested settlements in Cox’s Bazar and almost 20,000 have been relocated to the island of Bhasan Char. Refugees continue to face significant challenges, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and are highly reliant on international assistance to meet basic needs.
With GAC’s support, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and their local partner, Young Power in Social Action, are helping improve the health and safety of Rohingya refugees by providing integrated gender-based violence prevention and response services. Project activities include: (1) operating integrated women’s centres and providing survivor-centred sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) case management services and sexual and reproductive health support for women, girls and other marginalized community members; (2) training service providers in comprehensive SGBV, psychosocial support and case management processes; and (3) conducting outreach and awareness-raising sessions in the broader refugee community.

Description (French)
Février 2022 – À la suite de l’explosion de violence dans le nord de l’État de Rakhine au Bangladesh en août 2017, plus de 700 000 Rohingyas sont passés du Myanmar au Bangladesh en quelques mois. À l’heure actuelle, près d’un million de réfugiés rohingyas vivent dans 33 camps très entassés à Cox’s Bazar, et près de 20 000 ont été relogés sur l’île de Bhasan Char. Les réfugiés continuent d’être confrontés à des défis importants, notamment en raison de la pandémie de COVID-19, et sont fortement tributaires de l’aide internationale pour répondre aux besoins fondamentaux.
Grâce au soutien d’AMC, le Comité international de secours (IRC) et son partenaire local, Young Power in Social Action, contribuent à améliorer la santé et la sécurité des réfugiés rohingyas en leur fournissant des services intégrés de prévention de la violence fondée sur le genre et de réponse à celle-ci. Parmi les activités du projet : 1) gérer des centres intégrés pour les femmes et la prestation de services de gestion des cas de violence sexuelle et fondée sur le sexe (VSFS) centrés sur les survivants, ainsi qu’un soutien en matière de santé sexuelle et génésique pour les femmes, les filles et les autres membres marginalisés de la communauté; 2) former les fournisseurs de services en matière de VSFS, de soutien psychosocial et de processus de gestion des cas; 3) organiser des séances de sensibilisation et d’information destinées à l’ensemble de la communauté des réfugiés.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) women and girls are protected from and treated for the consequences of abuse, violence, neglect and SGBV; and (2) women and adolescent girls achieve their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
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)
Parmi les résultats escomptés de ce projet : 1) la protection contre les conséquences des abus, de la violence, de la négligence et de la VSFS, et le traitement de ces conséquences pour les femmes et les filles; 2) l’exercice des droits liés à la santé sexuelle et génésique chez les femmes et les adolescentes.
Le résultat final escompté est des vies sont sauvées, les souffrances sont atténuées et la dignité humaine est préservée dans les pays vivant une crise humanitaire ou une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
