About this listen

 This program is the third part in a series that started with the April 2025 broadcast to spotlight the genocide of Rohingya people of Myanmar. In 2017, a violent military offensive forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to flee across the border to refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. More than 1.1 million people – 75% of them women and children – live there as of June 2025. There are also tens of thousands in refugee camps in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. This past week, on January 22, 2026, International Court of Justice began hearings on the genocide case brought by The Gambia against Myanmar, Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (The Gambia v. Myanmar). I will interview feminist advocates and activists Noor Azizah and human rights attorney Nuraisha Mohd Hanif to gather updates for listeners about the court case and the current conditions in the refugee camps where thousands of people continue to suffer beyond most people’s imaginations. This was first broadcast on January 26, 2026 edition of Women’s Magazine The post The Gambia vs Myanmar: Feminist Analysis of Rohingya Genocide Case at the ICJ appeared first on KPFA.
