About the project

Doha Debates teamed up with human rights organization Fortify Rights to train three young Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh on the basics of photography and Instagram. These media fellows — Azimul Hasson, Dil Kayas and Omal Khair — were equipped with mobile phones and they’re now documenting their lives inside Cox’s Bazar, the largest refugee camp in the world. The project won the Shorty Social Good Award in the Immigration & Refugees category in November 2020.

Meet our fellows and follow their journey.

In the refugee camps of Cox’s Bazar, information is often shared through social media, but months-long restrictions on internet access has made it harder to communicate. Now that two suspected cases of coronavirus have appeared, Rohingya refugees are worried and afraid. Our media fellow @dilkayas provides this update. @dilkayas is a media fellow with @FortifyRights and @DohaDebates. @DohaDebates and @fortifyrights are supporting three young Rohingya refugees to help them develop storytelling skills with new video diary updates from the camps. Take a peek at life inside the world’s largest refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, by following @dilkayas and our other fellows, @omalkha and @azimulhass. #DearWorld #rohingya #refugees #refugeeswelcome #covid19 #coronavirus
