When "home" feels like a cage because it is a refugee camp with tight restrictions and the deprivation of basic freedoms-- young people need every bit of intelligence, courage and organizational ingenuity to move ahead with their lives....

A must-read piece from this Gen Z community leader in the Rohingya refugee camps ...

What happens when education, news access, and freedom of expression are limited? Young people find their own voice. 📱🗣️

In Cox’s Bazar the world’s largest refugee camp Rohingya youth are taking story generation into their own hands. By turning their smartphones into learning hubs and mobile newsrooms, they are documenting daily life, fighting dangerous misinformation, and opening doors for real dialogue.

In a compelling piece for our dialogue dossiers, Ata Ullah explores how these young storytellers are building trusted community networks and telling stories that go far beyond the headline of "crisis."
