Rohingya Refugee crisis
For this edit, I decided to focus mainly on the Rohingya refugees and their point of view while living in the refugee camps in Bangladesh. In doing so, the reader can sympathize more with the refugees and see them as individuals with their own stories instead of as a whole entity. After looking through the wires, I noticed that a lot of the women refugees had escaped torturous treatment in Myanmar. I focused in on the way the Rohingya women were brutally mistreated before escaping and the immense amount of children that are living in the camps that had their childhood taken from them. My initial wide edit was around 100 images. All images pulled from the Reuters and Associated Press wires for educational use only.

"M" was raped by 6 soldiers from Myanmar's security forces after they strangled her 2-year-old son to death. She later found out she was pregnant and eventually gave birth to a baby boy. After she told her husband what had happened, he blames her for the rape and wants nothing to do with her or the baby. (AP Photo/Wong Maye-E)
