Abstract

The conflict of Rohingya has triggered human rights issues, including the ones that involve women refugees. Female Rohingya Refugees are facing the risks of sexual violence, abduction, trafficking, and prostitution. This situation indicates an urgent call for the realization of refugee protection, including the protection of women refugees according to ASEAN Law. ASEAN has made important institutional statements concerning the protection of women’s human rights and the prevention of the violence against woman in its Human Right Law Regime. ASEAN also has made a statement to the Security Council on Women, Peace, and Security to address sexual violence in the conflicts that requires the tackling on the root-cause of the humanitarian disaster faced by Rohingya women refugees. However, the refugee's policies of some ASEAN members, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, indicate less commitment to protect refugees. The fact gives impacts to women refugees. This article attempts to analyze the ASEAN role to protect Rohingya women refugees based on ASEAN legal commitment, including the ASEAN Regime of Human Rights. The purpose of the study is to imply the ASEAN legal commitment on the protection of women’s right and to improve protection for women refugees, especially the Rohingya refugees.
