How UN Volunteers continue to respond to the Rohingya Crisis in Bangladesh

On the World Refugee Day 2021, we reflect on the work of UN Volunteers serving in Bangladesh, who have been involved in supporting the response to Rohingya crisis. 

From the initial days of the Rohingya crisis, the UN Volunteers (UNV) programme in Bangladesh has been contributing to the Rohingya refugee response. The organization has deployed UN Volunteers with expertise in education, WASH, healthcare, research, nutrition, child protection, human rights, mental health, prevention of gender based violence, youth and adolescent development, as well as other areas in the refugee camps. These have served across various UN entities, including UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP, WHO, UN Women, UNHCR, and IOM.
