Burn victim at Kakuma Refugee Camp

Horror and Discrimination in Kakuma Refugee Camp

In the early hours of March 15, two ‘houses’ occupied by LGBTQ+ human rights defenders were torched in Kakuma Block 13, leaving Ayesigye Jordan and Atuhwera Chriton with 2nd-degree burns. The police and medical personnel have been slow to respond to the emergency calls. Jordan and Trinidad need to be airlifted immediately to a hospital in Nairobi to get medical attention.

This incident is the latest in a long list of vicious attacks against LGBTQ+ refugees at Kakuma Block 13. LGBTQ+ refugees are unsafe and experience different forms of physical and sexual violence on a daily basis; from beatings and torchings, to slashing and rape. The slow response by the police and other authorities normalizes and perpetuates the violence, vulnerabilities, and indignity experienced by LGBTQ+ refugees. In the  segment we broadcast from Newzroom Afrika, a South African TV station, they report on the situation with 3 refugees and an advocate.
