Waterloo Region, ON – The Rohingya Centre of Canada is set to organize a photo exhibition and awareness event commemorating the sixth anniversary of the Rohingya genocide that unfolded in Myanmar (Burma) on August 25, 2017.

Justice for All Canada has been working on campaigns to raise awareness about the plight of Muslim minorities around the world.

The Hague – [On January 23], in an unanimous 17-0 ruling, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) announced provisional measures ordering Burma (Myanmar) to take immediate action to prevent genocidal acts against the Rohingya community. This important ruling requires the Burmese government to prevent and stop genocidal acts by military and police forces, preserve all evidence of genocidal acts, and report on compliance with these provisional measures.

The Rohingya Human Rights Network Canada has been established by Rohingya Canadians and their allies across Canada.

Diasporas can play a significant role in the development and politics of their countries of origin.

I Am Rohingya: A Genocide in Four Acts chronicles the journey of fourteen Rohingya youth who take to the stage in order to depict their families' harrowing experiences in Burma and beyond; before, during, and immediately after the escalation of military violence in their native Rakhine state; their unforgiving escape by foot and by boat to makeshift refugee camps in Bangladesh; and their eventual resettlement in the unfamiliar Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.
