While their lives are safer now, they are still struggling: Priyanka on Rohingya refugees

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra, who is on a field visit here, has shared her on-ground experiences from the Rohingya refugees shelters - from stumbling upon "calmness" in the conflict-stricken zone to urging global community to come to their aid.

The 35-year-old actor took to Instagram to document her visit - day-by-day - through posts, pictures and videos at various camps.

"As I walk into the Women Friendly Space at the Jamtoli Camp, I am instantly struck by a certain calmness. These camps are loud & crowded, actually overcrowded, and so to find a quiet oasis, in this case a small hut with a tarp roof and thatched bamboo walls, is surprising.

"But for the girls in this camp, this is what they call their 'house of peace'. It's a place they can come and just be. A place to interact with friends, seek counselling, learn about hygiene, or learn life skills like art and music," Chopra wrote alongside a photograph in which she can be seen having a 'tea party' with a refugee girl.

The "Quantico" star added there are approximately 50 Women Friendly Spaces in the camps, which give shelter to 50-70 Rohingya girls on a daily basis.

She said she met three 18-year-old women whose stories "shook" her up.

"One scarred with memories of houses in her village being burned - she and her parents travelled for two days to get here, passing hundreds of decapitated and dismembered bodies along the way. Another shared stories of young girls being pulled from their homes to be raped and tortured. They even tried to kill her and cut her with a knife, but she fought back.

"How did you manage to be so brave, I asked her... She replied, 'If you're born you will die, so I'm not scared of dying today'. In what world is it normal for an 18-year-old girl to have this perspective on life? The third young woman travelled for nearly two weeks on foot through the forest, where her youngest brother died along the way. There was lots of rape and torture back home she told me, and some women's breasts were even cut off."
