Nov 6 2022 • 36 mins

In the ninth  episode of Conversations4Citizenship Dr. Rowena Azada-Palacios interviews doctoral candidate Ambreen Lakhani about her research on the plight of the Rohingya six years after the start of the genocide in Myanmar. Ms. Lakhani shares her insights on the disconnections between funding agencies and the needs of local communities regarding the education curriculum provided for Rohingya children. Her work highlights the challenges the Rohingya face in neighbouring Bangladesh in accessing rights to education, healthcare, and employment because of not having refugee status. This episode emphasizes the importance of bringing impacted voices to the table so that their rights in all areas are acknowledged and respected even while displaced. We hope all listeners enjoy this episode.
