Witnesses report that armed militants visit Rohingya households to demand one member from each family. Families without adult men face the worst pressure. Militants force these vulnerable households to surrender young girls. Wealthy families sometimes buy their way out by paying bribes. However, poor families have no escape from this forced conscription.
Reports confirm that several abducted girls are under 18 years old. The terrorist Arakan Army provides minimal training before throwing these teenagers into active combat zones. The militants want Rohingya Muslims to take the bullets instead of Arakan fighters. This tactic aims to erase the Rohingya population while conserving their own forces.
Fear now grips Rohingya communities in Maungdaw, Buthidaung, Rathedaung, Minbya, and Thandwe. Hundreds of families flee their homes to hide their daughters from patrols. Mothers live in constant terror. They know armed militants could kick down their doors at any moment to drag their children away.
The Rohingya community already faces severe displacement and daily oppression. This new wave of gender-based violence adds another layer to the ongoing genocide. The terrorist Arakan Army targets the most vulnerable people in the conflict zone.
The international community must act immediately to stop this child abuse and forced trafficking. Human rights organizations need to intervene before more lives are lost. Global bodies must hold the terrorist Arakan Army accountable for these war crimes. The safety of Rohingya women and children depends on urgent external action.
