Mixed-methods assessment of the Girl Rising intervention with Rohingya refugee communities in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

In Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, adolescent girls are among those most affected by the ongoing Rohingya refugee crisis, facing intersecting barriers to education, agency, mobility, and well-being. In the refugee camps, already limited access to education is further constrained for Rohingya adolescent girls by deeply entrenched gender norms and attitudes, resulting in profound gender disparities. To address these challenges, Girl Rising, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and local education partners implemented a pilot programme among 500 Rohingya adolescent girls (aged 10–19 years) and their female and male caregivers.
