Razia Sultana is a Rohingya lawyer, researcher, and human rights defender born in Myanmar and raised in Bangladesh. She has dedicated her career to advocating for the stateless Rohingya community, focusing extensively on the trauma, mass rape, and trafficking of displaced women and girls. By interviewing hundreds of survivors in the refugee camps of Cox’s Bazar, she published groundbreaking reports, including Witness to Horror and Rape by Command, that exposed systematic sexual violence perpetrated by Burmese security forces. A coordinator for the Free Rohingya Coalition and director of the Arakan Rohingya National Organization’s women’s section, Sultana also founded the Rohingya Women Welfare Society (RWWS) to establish safe spaces and localized support.
