  • Rohingya refugees lack trust in government-provided family planning services and contraception, perceiving them as potentially causing permanent infertility and as an attempt by the government to manipulate their return.

    “This fundamental misconception is further amplified by their lack of trust in government-provided family planning services and contraception. They perceive these services as potentially leading to permanent infertility, viewing them as an attempt by the government to manipulate their return to their country of origin (Islam et al., 2021; Islam et al., 2022).”

    From Exploring the impact of preconception care and unintended pregnancy on access to antenatal healthcare services among Rohingya women: Insights from a cross-sectional survey (2024) · cites this paper as Islam et al., 2021

    The Results (‘Misapprehension about contraception’; page not provided) report fears that contraceptives may harm fertility or prevent a later birth. They also say that some Rohingya formerly distrusted contraception promotion in Rakhine, but explicitly state that no participants reported such distrust in Bangladesh. The paper does not connect contraception to a government attempt to manipulate refugees’ return. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
