Abstract
In the Rohingya crisis, women in particular suffered greatly. Countless women have been subjected to sexual and gender-based violence which has been used as one of the deadliest weapons of war or as a tool of terror. The purpose of this paper is to describe the persecution of Rohingya women. They also suffered from sexual abuse, maltreatment, inflammation, sterilization, and genital mutilation. Rohingya women were forcibly exploited for nudity and at the same time sexually abused in front of their family members. During a military operation, women were first taken hostage; young girls were taken hostage, and then taken to a separate room where they were forcibly gang-raped. The military has banned some Islamic traditions, such as the wearing of the burqua by women, and marrying according to religious rites, in order to publicly humiliate Rohingya women.
