Since the onset of the 2017 Rohingya influx, Saikat Mojumder have had the privilege of documenting the resilience of refugees in Cox’s Bazar, capturing some of the most impactful moments involving governments and the United Nations. While he witnessed many high-level missions, the opportunity to document the visit of the UN Secretary-General, Mr. António Guterres, to Bangladesh and the Rohingya camps was a truly special moment.

This historic visit took place during a meaningful Iftar event, where 100,000 Rohingya refugees gathered, thanks to the collaboration with Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus and the Chief Advisor of Bangladesh.

Rikta Akhter (16) is deep in preparation for an upcoming test, her eyes set on the path to higher education. Unlike many of her friends and classmates, who have been forced to abandon their studies over the past few years, Rikta’s resolve remains unshaken. In this remote and unforgiving corner of the country, where the mighty river must be crossed by boat and the weather turns cruel without warning, the struggle for a better education in schools in the mainland is a battle fought daily. Each crossing of the river costs 40 taka—a sum that weighs heavily on the families of this impoverished region. Here, in the isolated Kajiyar Char, most girls her age are already married, their lives consumed by the demands of family and the harsh realities of life in the river basin. Yet, Rikta stands apart, her spirit unyielding in the face of challenges that would crush others.
