Most people did not know the name "Rohingya" until five years ago when we established Burma Task Force, a coalition of Muslim organizations. 

- Burma Task Force is the only organization in the world with a dedicated full-time staff working to end the persecution of the Rohingya for the past 4 years.  
- We were the first organization to act before this latest crackdown when the Myanmar Military was building up troops in Rohingya areas and Bangladesh was closing the border, in anticipation of this massacre.  
- Burma Task Force has been invited to speak to the government on multiple occasions as leading experts on the Rohingya Crisis.  
- We are recognized by the UN, giving Burma Task Force UN Status.

The sad reality is the Rohingya communities that need the most help are inaccessible to any organization, regardless of size. That is why you will see many mainstream organizations calling on the Myanmar government to open avenues for aid to reach the most vulnerable. Additionally, food and water are temporary solutions to a problem that stretch's for decades, from at least 1982. We can't help child trafficking, rape and gang-rape, mass migration, village burning, Mosques being shut down, land being stolen, etc by sending food. This is why the Burma Task Force is working with Rohingya communities in Canada and with organizations from the USA and around the world as a global movement to end the persecution of the Rohingya and to return them to their homeland in security and granting them full citizenship.

Elderly Rohingya, women, and children are fleeing their ancestral homes and crossing treacherous waters to safety. Young men can be seen carrying the elderly on their backs as they cross rough terrain and rivers.
