Rohingya refugees in Indonesia a focus on smuggling, information, and financing
This snapshot explores the experience of smuggling among Rohingya refugees en route to Indonesia, with the key objective of contributing to evidence-based advocacy efforts and protection responses for Rohingya refugees.
This snapshot draws on data collected between December 2021 and May 2022 from 132 Rohingya refugees in Indonesia. Respondents were surveyed in cities across Sumatra and Sulawesi islands, including Medan (76%), Lhokseumawe (20%), Pekan Baru (3%) and Makassar (1%).
This snapshot has been produced under the Protecting Rohingya Refugees in Asia (PRRiA) project, a two-year ECHO-funded initiative launched in 2021 to address protection risks and needs of Rohingya refugees in Southeast Asia.
