DFID is supporting UNHCR’s prevention and response mechanism to protect Rohingya from sexual and gender-based violence and human trafficking in all key refugee-hosting locations. This support includes legal counselling, mediation, support to bring legal proceedings against perpetrators and awareness raising of danger signs and risks. Almost 36,000 people are benefiting from this project.
