Rohingya women have been stigmatised by Bangladeshi officials and local media for having too many children.
Many Rohingya women are open to family planning, but coercion and racist treatment within the donor-funded healthcare system risks squandering that demand.
The number of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh has risen from around 850,000 in 2018 to nearly 1.2 million in 2025.
