This report is the third publication by the International Rescue Commitee (̽����ѡ) on the incidence of gender-based violence (GBV) among Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Previous reports include The Shadow Pandemic: Gender-based violence among Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh (June 2020) and GBV Trends Among Rohingya Refugees in Cox’s Bazar: COVID-19 Update (January 2021). Using data collected from ̽����ѡ’s Integrated Women’s Centres and integrated GBV-health programme sites across Cox’s Bazar, alongside evidence from interviews with ̽����ѡ’s GBV case workers, this report offers two sets of findings. The first section provides the consolidated findings of ̽����ѡ’s GBV screening data over a 24-month collection period, from 2019 – 2021, revealing the continuity of reported GBV rates in this time period. The second and third are the findings of both ̽����ѡ GBV screening data and GBVIMS data from October 2020 – June 2021, showing the most recent trends in GBV reporting.

Dr. Stacey Mearns and the ̽����ѡ's team of health experts answer a few key questions about pandemics and how the coronavirus is impacting refugees and the ̽����ѡ's work.
