How a Rohingya woman receives education and healthcare services from the Myanmar state depends on where the woman is born. In this article, a Rohingya doctor from Yangon describes how she was treated differently to her female relatives in Rakhine State. Drawing on her time working at a non-governmental organization (NGO) in northern Rakhine State, the author also describes how some well-intentioned NGO projects that tried to promote women’s rights in Rakhine State went wrong, and proposes an alternative for Rohingya women who are at risk of human trafficking.
