The forced migration of the Rohingyas into Bangladesh following persecution in Myanmar illustrates pressures put upon migrants and the indigenous communities in the areas to which they move. These pressures are especially acute for women, raising important considerations about gender equality. The paper explores these new facets of human and environmental rights, examining the case of the Rohingyas and indigenous communities of Bangladesh, highlighting pathways to gender-sensitive climate justice and equitable Human-Environmental Rights (HER).
