Why We Gather

More than a meeting.
A promise kept.

Nine years on, the world risks forgetting. We do not. This convening is how a displaced nation remembers itself — and how it tells the world it is still here, still rising, still demanding to come home.

Remembrance

We light a candle for every life lost in August 2017 and every survivor still seeking home.

Justice

We carry the call for accountability into the rooms where it must be answered — courts, capitals, and the global conscience.

Unity

Across continents and generations, we close the distance between Rohingya communities scattered by displacement.

Future Planning

We move from reaction to strategy: a shared roadmap our children can inherit and continue.

Leadership Dialogue

Heads of organizations, scholars, and youth voices in the same room — listening, deciding, committing.

Recognition & Appreciation Ceremony

Honoring Those Who
Inspire Our Community

As part of the Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day 2026 gathering, selected individuals will receive appreciation recognition awards for their dedication, leadership, humanitarian service, and impact on the community.

Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day 2026 Appreciation Award — crystal trophy with gold candle
The Award

A keepsake of remembrance, etched in crystal and gold.

Each award is hand-finished — a lit candle within a laurel, the names of honorees set in gold leaf. A small artifact carrying a large promise: that the service they offered our community will not be forgotten.

"Together, we remember. Together, we unite. Together, we inspire."

Categories of Recognition

Ten honors. One shared promise.

Leadership

Visionaries guiding our community forward.

Humanitarian Service

Hands that healed when the world looked away.

Community Impact

Builders of belonging across borders.

Youth Empowerment

Lifting the next generation of voices.

Advocacy & Awareness

Carrying our story to the global stage.
