RISE
Supporting Rohingya Girls
in Bangladesh
Cox's Bazar
In partnership with UNICEF, Girl Rising is working to strengthen the confidence, agency, and educational aspirations of Rohingya adolescent girls living in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.
This program, which ran through December 2025, reached 500 girls and 500 parents across the camps. Through our storytelling-based curriculum, girls explored themes of self-belief, resilience, and future aspirations. Using locally adapted stories of girls like Ruksana, Wadley, Amina, and Nasro—told through illustrated storybooks and dubbed video content—the programme sparked conversation, built connection, and nurtured hope.
The project also included a six-week program for parents and caregivers, designed to deepen their understanding of why girls’ education matters and how they can support their children to stay in school.
Girl Rising trained 36 master trainers through in-person workshops in Cox’s Bazar. Local Rohingya volunteers, in collaboration with UNICEF, delivered the program within the camps—bringing these sessions to life in classrooms and community spaces.
This work is supported by evaluation partners George Washington University and Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE), ensuring that our impact is measured, understood, and shared.
