Since March 2019, Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR) and the Liberation War Museum (LWM) of Bangladesh have been conducting documentation work using participatory action research with more than 120 women in the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. The process involved sewing activities in sharing their stories and healing while building solidarity and peer support among women survivors. Using embroidery as a medium, a group of Rohingya women refugees have depicted their life stories, focusing on their exodus from Myanmar in the face of atrocities. The embroidery expresses their hopes, dreams, & memories – a response to being survivors of genocide and the challenges they face living in the refugee camp. Through this exhibition, we hope to build solidarity and promote human rights for the Rohingya.
