Our voices remain ignored while decisions about our lives move forward without us. We want peace restored in Rakhine, not temporary shelter and endless aid lines. Citizenship is the foundation of everything we lack. Without it, we remain unsafe, uneducated, and exposed to abuse. Statelessness keeps our children out of schools and our elders without protection. We did not flee to become refugees forever. We fled to stay alive. The world must understand this truth. Grant citizenship. Ensure security. Make return safe, voluntary, and dignified. Only then can peace exist.
