This snapshot documents the experience of Rohingya refugees in Malaysia, shedding light on protection risks that negatively impact their safety and well-being. This snapshot is one of a series that focuses on Rohingya journeys and experiences in Southeast Asia, with the key objective of contributing to building a solid evidence base to inform advocacy and protection programming for Rohingya refugees in the region.
Despite high risks en route and upon arrival, Rohingya movement to Malaysia continues. This snapshot focuses on the specific risks facing Rohingya women and children before leaving Myanmar or Bangladesh, during their journey, and upon arrival in Malaysia. MMC Asia has been conducting survey with Rohingya in Malaysia since January 2019 in order to better understand their migration experiences. This snapshot contributes to building a solid evidence base to inform targeted responses that improve protection for Rohingya refugees and inform advocacy efforts related to movements to Malaysia.

This study seeks to improve understanding of the risks and types of sexual and gender-based violence faced by children who migrate on their own, as well as the unfortunate and widespread gaps in protection and assistance for these children. It looks closely at the situation in dangerous or remote locations – places that are fragile, conflict-ridden, underserved and hard to reach, where children may be particularly vulnerable.
The study also identifies actions that are urgently needed, by governments and humanitarian organizations, to better protect and assist children migrating on their…
The child protection sector lacks a robust evidence-base conveying what effective support during the recovery and reintegration process for children affected by child sexual exploitation (CSE) looks like. This report starts to collate evidence on what appears to be important to children who have experienced sexual exploitation. Recognizing the current gaps in knowledge, this report represents a first attempt to start ‘connecting the dots’ between primary data and existing literature to help states and service providers better respond to the needs of children affected by CSE. This report…
Abstract
We investigate the intergenerational impact of conflict on the educational and health outcomes of children born years after the conflict ended by exploiting geographical variation in the intensity of the genocide that occurred during the Khmer Rouge (KR) regime in Cambodia. We find that children of individuals who were of prime marriage age during the genocide and experienced greater intensity of genocide have worse educational and health outcomes. In particular, for each standard deviation increase in the intensity of the genocide, average children's normal grade progression rate…
Introduction:
“This report presents findings from the impact evaluation of a parenting and family skills intervention called the Happy Families Program which was implemented by the IRC from 2011 to 2013. The Happy Families Program is a parenting and family skills intervention implemented with displaced Burmese families living on the Thai–Burmese border. It is the first of its kind to be implemented with the Burmese displaced population in Thailand and rigorously evaluated through a randomized controlled trial. The goal of the study is to generate evidence around what works to…

This brief includes a description of the evaluation, the primary results, and the lessons learned from this evaluation. According to the brief, the research team found that the intervention had a significant impact on…
This situational analysis was commissioned by the Child Protection Initiative (CPI) as a preliminary exercise to develop evidence-based recommendations to guide Save the Children in the Philippines to develop interventions under the CPI priority result areas, building on existing programmes and technical expertise. Save the Children in the Philippines seeks to prioritise across the following strategy areas: children in residential care, children in armed conflict and disasters, children in situations of migration (…
