When the flood arrived without warning in Teknaf, our young women-led Activista team was already ready to move.

Following heavy rainfall and flooding in Teknaf, Cox’s Bazar, our Activistas stepped up to assess the situation on the ground, working with local authorities to identify families most in need.

Selected households received direct financial support to repair their homes in ways that worked best for them, while the team continued to monitor progress and stay connected with affected families.

This is youth-led, women-led humanitarian action in times of crisis. It is about being prepared, listening to communities and putting decision-making in their hands.

When a crisis lasts for so long, it becomes a condition.

Nine years after the largest influx of Rohingya refugees into Bangladesh, the world has become better at managing displacement than ending it. Humanitarian support remains essential but without a political solution and dignified repatriation, the crisis risks becoming permanent.

As the crisis enters its 10th year, our Country Director Farah Kabir reflects on what the next chapter should look like in her latest op-ed for The Daily Star. She pens for a shift from simply managing displacement to protecting a generation while ensuring the Rohingya themselves are part of decisions about their future.

“We listen, we understand, then we try to support and stand in solidarity.”

The approach matters as much as the response itself. Here’s a glimpse into ActionAid’s humanitarian approach from .

“Localisation is not simply about where humanitarian action happens. It is about who owns it, who shapes it and who has the power to hold systems accountable.”- Message from

The session on Locally Led Humanitarian Action in Conflict Zones: Connecting Humanitarian, Peace and Resilience at DIHAD 2026 will stay with us for sure, as powerful frontline insights from Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Afghanistan filled the room with hope for locally led humanitarian action.

The conversation also renewed the realisation that even in the most challenging conflict settings, we need to keep space open for policy engagement and advocacy.

Representing Bangladesh on the global panel, our Country Director Farah Kabir highlighted how crisis-affected communities, especially women and youth, are driving resilience on the frontlines.

In this session, our delegation delivered the message that true localisation requires shifting decision-making power to local women leaders, ensuring social accountability and connecting ground realities with advocacy and policy spaces.

Nine years since Rohingya families were forced from their homes and sought safety in Bangladesh.

Nine years of displacement, uncertainty and children growing up in camps.

But this is also a story of dignity, resilience and hope - of women leading, young people volunteering and communities supporting one another.

They deserve more.
They deserve justice, dignity, a political solution and the right to return home safely and voluntarily.
Nine years is more than a measure of time.
It is a generation.

Watch. Listen. Remember.
