Sexual and Reproductive Health Conditions of Women: Insights from Rohingya Refugee Women in Bangladesh

Introduction The Rohingya refugee influx in 2017 was one of those events that attracted the attention of the international community. With this refugee influx, Rohingya women’s sexual and reproductive health (SRH) conditions have been greatly affected. This study aims to find out the condition of Rohingya refugee women’s sexual and reproductive health in terms of contraception, sanitation, and hygiene. Methods A qualitative research approach was applied to conduct the research. For primary data, semi-structured questionnaires were conducted with 50 in-depth interviews, a focus group discussion (FGD) consisting of 10 respondents, and three key informant interviews (KIIs). Results The results of the study revealed that their sexual and reproductive health is being affected, how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the government are strengthening their sexual and reproductive health, and what the current scenario of their SRH is. Conclusion The results concluded that their SRH conditions are improving from the initial crisis stage, but many factors like gender-based violence and patriarchal society impacts are continuously affecting their SRH continuously. Policy Implications Sexual and reproductive health is also included in social policy implications. Rohingya women refugees are part of migration and the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis. Where social policy implies involvement in meeting societal needs, education, health, migration, poverty, and other crucial global factors, ensuring the safe and better sexual and reproductive health of Rohingya refugees is certainly one of them. Ensuring their better health, easy access to sexual and reproductive health care products, and not being harmed or judged while ensuring and prioritizing their SRH is a major and crucial concern in social policy.
