Abstract: This first case study in the "Unveiling worlds: Centering child voices in humanitarian contexts case study series" uses drawing and child-led conversations to illuminate young Rohingya children's lived realities to inform humanitarian programs and policies. This qualitative study offers context-specific insights from children to inform policies and practices for governmental bodies, U.N. agencies and implementing NGOs. This approach is replicable, low-cost, and adaptable to any protracted emergency context. Children's views, as highlighted in this research, are already changing how BRAC, a Global South-led international development agency, implements its programs. Additionally, to have a broader impact, BRAC has initiated discussions for program and policy modification based on this research with the Early Childhood Development (ECD) in emergencies coordination group and the Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner within the Bangladesh Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief.
