In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in misinformation, disinformation and hate speech directed at Myanmar's Indigenous Rohingya population, with devastating consequences.

In response, Rohingya activists are taking action to reclaim their narratives by sharing stories grounded in truth, resilience and empathy.

To support these efforts, Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN), Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network (RMCN) and the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) have jointly developed an advocacy video aimed at countering the damaging impact of misinformation and hate speech targeting Rohingya refugees.

This powerful video features two Rohingya advocates: Hafsar Tameesuddin, co-secretary general of APRRN, and Yasmin Ullah, founder and executive director of RMCN. Together, they confront prevalent falsehoods about their community that circulate widely on social media, especially in South and Southeast Asian countries where many Rohingya refugees seek asylum.
