COVID-19, Refugees And Vulnerability: Kon Karapanagiotidis
Listen now
Description
Kon Karapanagiotidis is a lawyer, teacher, OAM, activist, and founder of Australia’s largest independent human rights organisation; the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.
Over 19 years Kon has turned the ‘suitcase of hope’ he began with the ASRC into a formidable force of good. Every day he strives to help refugees and those seeking asylum to find hope. Yet beneath the formidable mind and rabble rousing provocateur exterior is the Greek kid from a small country town, dubbed ‘alphabet’, who still questions if he is enough.
