<\/div>\r\nThrough photography and social media, some Rohingya refugees<\/a> are documenting life in Bangladesh. By definition, many of them are also activists because they advocate for human rights and want social change in Myanmar, their native country. New media and the internet have allowed them to create a networked social sphere despite de limited freedom at the refugee camps.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSome of these photographers are amateurs, while others are professionals. The majority are men, but there are some women as well. The pictures\u2019 styles range from intimate to social, showing kids playing, people praying, floods or protests. Most of their pictures are taken with smartphones and shared on social media.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nUsing hashtags like #RohingyaCrisis and #RohingyaLivesMatter on social media, their work reflects the real life of many refugees, who sometimes hold banners in protests to claim their human rights.\r\n\r\n
