Rohingya Women, Architects of Justice: A Political Genealogy of Leadership
This essay seeks to document the political genealogy of Rohingya women, engaging with the oral histories and legal testimonies they have bravely placed on the public record. It aims to amplify the strategies of resilience developed by the women themselves, from the parliamentarians of the 1950s to the survivor-advocates of today.

They lack cleanliness, adequate clothes, work, and the resources appropriate for their age. I find myself continually drawn to speak with those silent old people, whose lips seem to hold decades of pain.
