The plight of Rohingya women in a Bangladesh refugee camp are recounted through embroidery during the exhibition "A Life Once Had, A Dream Of Hope", which takes place at SEA Junction from tomorrow to Sunday.
Arranged by Asia Justice ad Rights (AJAR), a non-profit organisation based in Jakarta, the event marks International Women's Day which this year falls on March 8. The exhibition will feature 12 quilt collections made by Rohingya women who live at Kutupalong refugee camp, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
Since March 2019, 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.
