Since the 1970s, violence and statelessness have driven Rohingya from Arakan across South and Southeast Asia, the Gulf, and beyond. This infographic maps an estimated 3.5–4 million Rohingya across continents, based on open-source and community reporting. Figures are estimates, not official statistics.
