Australian actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Cate Blanchett is calling for the international community to show solidarity and share the responsibility to protect Rohingya refugees from the upcoming monsoon season in Bangladesh.

The Ocean's 8 star commented 'The people of Bangladesh and host communities have been the first to respond to this crisis, supported by agencies like UNHCR and its partners. But I cannot stress how much more help is needed for these vulnerable stateless refugees, the majority of whom are women and children. This is the fastest growing refugee crisis in the world, the monsoons are coming and it is critical that the international community, private sector and individuals all do what they can to support these stateless refugees and the communities hosting them'.
