Is a project of Population Movement Operation of Bangladesh Red Crescent Society in Cox’s Bazar. Thousands of Rohingyas (forcefully displaced from Myanmar) are living with utmost crisis and are deprived from their human rights, dignity and safety. PGI is working closely to ensure their full and meaningful access, dignity, participation and safety. Also it works to minimise gender inequality and inclusion of the other left outs especially the people with disability.
