Bangladesh — Four Years On: Shifting Gendered Perceptions and Experiences - Comprehensive Gender Analysis within Rohingya and Host Communities in Cox’s Bazar

Gender programming as a social intervention, addressing the diverse needs of the affected population and evaluating its impacts, is complex and challenging, particularly in a humanitarian setting where urgent survival needs are prioritised. This study observed relatively meaningful and positive shifts in gender dynamics among both the Rohingya and the host community, despite the persistence of certain harmful norms and practices. We also discovered unexpected consequences of gender interventions and read subtle ambivalent feelings towards rapid change.
