Rohingya women say sexual violence, killings forced them out of Myanmar

A Rohingya woman told BenarNews she was sexually assaulted by Arakan Army insurgents in Myanmar’s Rakhine state who killed three relatives, forcing her to flee to a refugee camp in Bangladesh.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous over safety concerns and is not pictured in this report, said she had grown used to the sounds of bombs falling and gunshots, but did not expect to be a victim of violence.
