This report draws on midline data collected by the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) longitudinal study in Cox’s Bazar to explore Rohingya young people’s experiences of and beliefs about sexual and gender-based violence and access to prevention and response services. Building on baseline research undertaken in 2019 (Guglielmi et al., 2020), it focuses on sexual and gender-based violence, child marriage and marital violence. The report concludes with implications for policy and programming.
