Listen now
Description
In too many wealthy countries - political leaders are choosing harsher and harsher policies when it comes to refugees. But there is one country that has decided to treat refugees with basic human decency. Uganda doesn’t lock up its refugees.

We recorded this story in 2017 with support from Australia for UNHCR. It continues to speak to a different approach to how we treat refugees around the globe.
