Burma Task Force is a ten-year-old coalition of 38 Muslim organizations in North America. Now working under the banner of Justice For All which works on 6 Muslim minority causes with staff in Washington DC, Ottawa, Ont, Chicago, and New York. Its Chair is Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid.
Burma Task Force along with its Rohingya allies, and coalition partners has been successful in advocating for the US and Canada to give 2.2 billion dollars to Rohingya refugees, getting it declared as genocide by both countries and get victims’ voices in the International Criminal Court as well as the International Court of Justice.
This genocide however is ongoing. Although Rohingya refugees are safe and have freedom of religion outside Burma, a third generation of Rohingya is being raised illiterate due to restrictions on education beyond grade 3.
