As part of his research at the Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies, Anas Ansar has published a policy brief together with Syeda Rozana Rashid and Benjamin Etzold.

Gender-based violence and insecurity have increased in the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh. There is a clear link between this development and violent dynamics in the wider Bangladesh-Myanmar border region. This policy brief, co authored by Anas Ansar, presents findings of an empirical study conducted between April and June 2024 in the refugee camps and adjacent areas along the border and underscores the need for holistic interventions that extend far beyond conventional measures against gender-based violence within the Rohingya camps by addressing the roots of insecurity and violence, including their cross-border dimensions.
