The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Rohingya community have jointly launched the Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre (RCMC), an initiative to comprehensively document and preserve the heritage of the forcible displaced Rohingya people.
There are currently nearly one million Rohingyas living Cox’s Bazar camps, inhabiting challenging settlements with limited avenues for expression. The RCMC offers psychosocial support through art therapy, protection and skills development activities led by IOM practitioners and mental health officers, said the IOM in a press release on Tuesday (May 25).
In 2019, IOM researchers in Cox’s Bazar started collecting and documenting cultural practices and artefacts shared amongst the Rohingya community from the Rakhine State in Myanmar.
