About

‘Rohingya Stories’ is a narrative collection adapted from a series of interviews conducted with camp residents in Cox’s Bazar, capturing personal stories of their migration journey and experience in the camps. Shared by respondents from diverse generations and backgrounds, these oral histories shed light on each family’s unique circumstances. This work is part of a study under the Cross-Border Conflict: Evidence, Policy and Trends (XCEPT) program.
