“We need to live in peace”: Rohingya Civilians' Priorities for Mass Atrocity Prevention and Response in the Aftermath of Genocide

In September 2025, the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide published the report, “We need to live in peace”: Rohingya Civilians' Priorities for Mass Atrocity Prevention and Response in the Aftermath of Genocide.

This report highlights the varied experiences of the Rohingya community and the multiple risks they continue to face in the aftermath of genocide. To complete this report, the Center worked with three Rohingya leaders—Tun Khin, president of the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK; Wai Wai Nu, founder and executive director of Women’s Peace Network; and Yasmin Ullah, executive director of the Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network. The leaders consulted with a diverse group of Rohingya civilians in Burma, Bangladesh, the broader Southeast Asian region, and the global diaspora to understand their experiences and priorities and to share their recommendations for policymakers. 

This report summarizes the concerns and recommendations raised by members of the Rohingya community. The perspectives and recommendations summarized below do not necessarily represent those of the three leaders who conducted the research, nor those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
