摘要：This paper described how Forcedly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) Rohingya women and girls coped with difficulties during the pandemic in Cox's Bazar refugee camps. The purpose of this study is to assess the ongoing issues, coping mechanisms, and psychosocial conditions during the pandemic. This research used Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and in-depth interview, the researcher's own observation, as well as secondary data sources. The findings suggested that FDMN women faced tremendous difficulties due to a lack of food/non-food item (NFI) and unusable facilities. Despite humanitarian organizations providing extensive psychosocial support to FDMN women and girls through friendly spaces for women and girls and they volunteered in the absence of employees due to lockdown, the women faced issues related to the expectation based on their traditional role. This paper concluded that activities that can improve the psychosocial health as well as intervention for the community and increased women and girls’ engagement for empowerment in decision making about their role as a woman in order to reduce their vulnerabilities to domestic violence is important. Also, FDMN men and boys should be exposed to awareness program to prevent gender-based violence.
