Abstract
En los últimos años organismos como el Alto Comisionado de Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados se han valido del alcance y difusión de los medios de ocio y aprendizaje digital para aproximar la violación de los Derechos Humanos al público en general. Uno de los ejemplos más palpable ha sido la persecución de los Rohingya. En 2017 ACNUR creó una aplicación para móviles y tablets titulada Finding Home, en la que se mostraban todas las penalidades y sufrimientos de Khatijah por reencontrarse con su familia y lograr sobrevivir en un país extranjero, en este caso Malasia. Este título se enmarca en aquella categoría de videojuegos digitales, catalogado como Serious / Newsgames. En el presente artículo vamos a profundizar en todas estas cuestiones a partir de un análisis crítico de bibliografía especializada sobre los juegos digitales como producto cultural, así como informes y resoluciones sobre la persecución sufrida por el pueblo rohingya.
