Rohingya Sisterhood and Community Care

Echoes of Resilience follows five Rohingya women—Yasmin, Nurhayati Ali, Nurhayati Sultan, Noor Azizah, and Hafsar—on advocacy trips to build resilience and connections with members of the Rohingya diaspora. After their first journey to Indonesia—the subject of the Journey of Love film—in Echoes of Resilience, the five women travel to Malaysia where they encounter a crisis fueled by hate speech and police brutality as well as a somber reminder of Rohingya lives lost and victimized by human trafficking.
 
On August 31, 2024, The Fort will host a film screening and panel discussion organized by the Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network (RMCN), a Rohingya-led, women-led, and refugee-led organization. Echoes of Resilience is part of a film series produced by the Alternative ASEAN Network for Burma in collaboration with the RMCN. The event will also include a panel discussion with one of the film’s producers and two Rohingya women human rights defenders from RMCN.  
 
This in-person English-language event is open to the public and free of charge. The event will also be live-streamed on The Fort’s Facebook Page.

• Annop, Producer of the Journey of Love film

• Noor Azizah, Rohingya human rights advocate and director of RMCN
