The Rohingya, a stateless and persecuted Muslim minority from Myanmar, continue to face dire circumstances that drive them to risk their lives at sea.
In 2025 alone, it is reported that nearly 900 individuals from this community disappeared during their attempts to reach safer shores in Thailand, Malaysia, or Indonesia.
The ongoing crisis has exacerbated the dangers associated with these crossings, as human trafficking networks exploit the desperation of the Rohingya.
