HLP challenges in Rohingya response: rental increase, security concerns and forced eviction

Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights centre around having a place to live, free from the fear of forced eviction, a place that offers access to safe shelter, secure livelihood opportunities and basic services, even if it is in a camp far from home in the country of origin.

If cross-cutting issues, like HLP, are not addressed from the very outset of a humanitarian response, it will undermine the objectives of the entire response, excluding the most vulnerable individuals. However, failing to realise HLP rights not only further exacerbates the socio-economic vulnerability of the community, but also exposes the affected population to further protection risks prevalent in camps.
