Remembrance must go beyond looking back. It must also mean recognizing the violence that continues today, standing with Rohingya communities, and demanding justice, protection, accountability, and the right to return home safely and with dignity.

Today, Rohingya communities continue to face grave abuses amid the conflict in Rakhine State, including killings, forced displacement, arbitrary detention, forced recruitment, destruction of villages, and other serious violations committed by both the Arakan Army and the Myanmar military junta.

During the week of Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day, we cannot turn a blind eye to the reality that the persecution of the Rohingya did not end in 2017.

The 2017 genocide did not begin overnight. For decades, Rohingya were systematically stripped of citizenship, identity, freedom of movement, and belonging through discriminatory laws, military operations, forced displacement, and persecution.
