Saif, S.I., Amin, Y.M., Islam, M.T. et al. Post-traumatic stress disorder and its association with domestic violence among Rohingya refugee women in Bangladesh: a cross-sectional study. Confl Health (2026).
Abstract
Rohingya refugees who have been displaced from Myanmar and live in overpopulated camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, are deeply traumatized. Although the psychological burden related to forced displacement is well-studied, little has been done to understand the role of domestic violence in the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of women in a refugee camp setting. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of PTSD in Rohingya refugee women and its association with exposure to domestic violence.
