Nine years of Rohingya crisis: Repatriation still remains a distant dream

Nine years ago this month, nearly 1.2 million Rohingya fled Rakhine State to Bangladesh to escape brutal military crackdowns in Myanmar. When they crossed the border, they believed they were seeking temporary shelter and would soon find an opportunity to return to their homeland. But nine years on, that wait remains unending. What was meant to be a temporary refuge has, over time, turned into a seemingly permanent exile.

Mankiping: The invisible labour of women carrying men's emotional burden

Within relationships, there exists a form of labour that remains unseen, unpaid, and largely unrecognised—yet millions of women silently carry it every day. Sitting beside a partner to listen when he is upset, reminding him of a friend's birthday, taking on the responsibility of maintaining family ties, or quietly managing the social circle of a male partner—all of these are now being defined globally under a specific term: 'mankiping'. In Bangla, it translates roughly to 'purush-paricharya' (male-caretaking).
