i melissa chan, thanks for joining us. 5 years ago, hundreds of thousands of people from the re hinge minority fled myanmar, after the country's military launched attacks across the northwest torching villages and killing civilians. most people ended up in bangladesh, his cox's bizarre refugee camp there ranger families have since built private run schools for thousands of children. now, officials say the schools are illegal and our allegedly cracking down on teachers who continue to give lessons late last year, bangladesh authorities began shutting down schools, settled by the ro, hangup. it means for ro hang your children stuck in vast comes the se, bangladesh, getting an education is a bigger challenge than ever. on another month on it, other gonna allow me 1st came here, we opened a private school to teach them in. however, the government is not accepted it. they've shut down

a shot ins unload it already and i will know it. is it? bangladesh has been sheltering about 850000 rowing year. refugees from neighboring me in mar, since military offensive in 2017. that the u. s is designated as genocide. human rights watch says those who refuse to follow the rulings and keep giving lessons are being threatened by authorities. they've been gone after by the bangladesh authorities who said, if you continue to teach or study, we will take away your data card. and if you're a refugee, you need the data card to access food and medicine and basic essential needs. and not only that, we'll send you off to boss on char island, which refugees to not want to go to. it's part of a big relocation skin, bangladesh, refugee authorities say they're only following the rules. invited though we only let anything operate that's permitted by the government. beyond that nobody can do anything anywhere, even if it's not about rowing guys. they can,

they can i just open the university here without permission. bangladesh provides no education facilities for the refugees. unicef, ron schools and the camps, but they offer education to children. h 4 to 14, leaving older pupils to go to private schools or islamic seminaries called madras us in the settlements inside the camps, the only kind of education that would allow you to study beyond one or 2 years and to use a formal curriculum is in the schools that the rowing get had to set up themselves a had no other option. now to shut those down because they don't have the right paperwork, is just a bureaucratic excuse him throwing his students into cox's bizarre comp hope one day to return home. but to ensure their livelihoods when that day comes, they're going to need an education. joining us found data is sheldon yet unicef representative to bangladesh. thanks for joining the program. sheldon

bangladesh. official say you need the right permits to run a school. ok, fine. why are bangladesh, she officials not approving these schools in the camps? well, of course, that's a question for bangladesh. she authority is not for, for, for yourself. we do really welcome the fact that the government has welcome to some 1000000 refugees into the country. and i think when you do appreciate the generosity of the government of doing that and insurance, all these children can go to school. what we need to emphasize is that there's tremendous demand for parents for children to go to school, and we need to ensure that there are sufficient facilities and that we can meet this demand. meanwhile, i wonder, does this mean the re hinges, children are just hanging out of those who can't go to school anymore? not all the children who want to go to school can go to school. that just aren't

you know, facilities yet. the government has, is not allowed to oh, facilities that we'd like to see opened open yet. they are not, does spending their time in school. and of course not learning all the critical thinking skills and all the other skills that are required resiliency and the sense of normalcy. the schools provide. we hope that can, i can change. i really wonder on, as we look at the situation, what kind of future do these children have in a refugee camp? yeah, the refugee camp is, is not a good place for, for anyone to be. i think all children want to go home and we look forward to their own, their, the return to their home as quickly as possible and as safely as possible and when it's safe to do so. in the meantime, we need to ensure that we can meet their rights to the right to education or wipe the rights to clean water rights a health care. we continue to work very closely under the leadership of the

authorities of bangladesh to ensure those facilities are in place. and we look forward to doing so in the weeks to come. i mean it, but a lot of them have been in the camps for 5 years or, or even longer. and so what i'm wondering is when you've been there for 5 years and with the prospect of somebody spending a decade there, what kind of employment prospects do they have children as they look to becoming adults? yeah, i mean, of course they're not allowed to work in the local economy. so that's a key issue. i need to have the skills and the ability to work once they get returned to me and mar, and that is really critical. they need to be occupied. they need to ensure that they have se spaces for them to continue to learn and to interact with their friends, with teachers and with peers. what would be the right incentives of for the bangladesh government to approve more schools for ranger children?

is this something that the international community needs to get engage with? of course, international community is very closely engaged on this issue. all governments have the right to, to our license schools and determine what is taught on their tort and their territory. and we look forward to working, continuing to work with the authorities to find a way forward. i think everyone agrees that children, blong, and school children have a right education. and we will continue to work with authorities to find a good way forward. and what is a good way forward though? wellness there many ways perhaps some sort of spot checks can be done. some sort of or assurance can be provided to local authorities at children are learning or what is appropriate. and churning children are learning and, and being exposed to a quality education. i think everybody has a mutual interest in no. sheldon yet. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. good to be here. ah,

you might believe or jenny? the tests for teenage girls are a thing of the past 5. it's still prevalent in many countries, including in mongolia where it is officially band. still, especially in the countryside, doctors and nurses are known to check by performing a physical invasive examination. combating this practice requires education, including sex education. here's a closer look at how one community group is making that effort. awe in towns like this, in the countryside of mongolia. in medical rooms inside secondary schools, like this, authorities still subject young women to so called rigidity tests. they were in oregon. when they did the test, i had an out of body experiences. i asked myself, does this body belong to me?

in what like i was ged, and even doubted whether i was a virgin or not. that's what the test does to you, what they tell you, it's a way to protect you. but now looking back on it, i understand they violated my personal space. at the who norman's edelman and her experience was 3 years ago after a girl got pregnant at the rural boarding school, she attended at the time. oh, not that today, volunteers from an angio called beautiful hearts, teach rural teenagers about their own bodies and try to empower them to refuse the virginity tests. sometimes schools include them in general health checks, even though that's not allowed. these teenagers are talk about so called virginia tests, which are still carried out in rural schools like this one. when i was at school, it was everywhere. once a year. as we grow up in a tackle and had to monocle society, young girls have to say what doctors,

teachers, or principal have to say. it was frightening and humiliating. because people would hear the girls who were not wilson. and they would be teased and shamed them to the workshops aim to fill a gap in a world where online dating is growing yet sex and relationship advice is often absent. honey, i thought was that if they both physical exercise, teacher a man teaches us health education, but he doesn't teaches about sexual relations, who teaches about stress and how to stay healthy. not arthur. i had did my parents talk to me about dates and relationships. but all they said was that it's not time for me to date. they say i should focus on my studies. i've done down horses since last september. even children at rural schools were supposed to be spared the testing. the government banded that came after

a beautiful hearts, founder or young dowry by and bought her lead, a sustained campaign against it. but still, her group often hears from students that a school is doing the tests and they often intervene. oh, back it empower her. we have almost a 95 percent success rate in preempt, at least stopping virginia t tests by just calling mongolia is vahsel to what the best we can do is to call the places we can't get to that we call education administrations and family and youth centers in those regions, we also call the national human rights commission and health administration to stop these tests that, that tag with it. they've also taken a more high tech approach. they have launched an app and a chat bought to offer information about safe sex here in those lambert,

their schools are no longer taking virginia to test is that they teach sex education, helping young people to make informed decisions about their life. that's it for thursday, there's always more on our website. we'll leave you with pictures of conditions and cox's bizarre. a hinge, a refugee camp where thousands of secondary age children can't go to school. thanks for watching. see you tomorrow and get by with
