Introduction:
"Our situation here is like a prison. We are not free. I wish I was a bird, free from this condition." - A 35-year-old Nayapara Rohingya woman.
"I cannot sleep soundly here; I am afraid they will come any moment and force me to go back. We have no money. My husband is not allowed to work. We are just like prisoners here." - A 30-year-old refugee woman in Nayapara camp.
"The firewood usually lasts 15 days. Usually I send my child or husband to the forest to fetch wood or dry leaves, but it is dangerous; there are robbers, and the villagers or forest rangers demand money from us. They take our tools sometimes or beat us until we pay. But we don't have any money to pay.
