The Rohingya are an ethnic group made up of majority Muslim and minority Hindu who have been denied citizenship in Myanmar since 1982, with the United Nations called the Rohingya one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. In the last few years especially, the Rohingya have faced harsh crackdowns by Myanmar authorities and have been forced from their homes, fleeing to neighboring Bangladesh to avoid violence.
