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.

Rev. Elizabeth M. Edman, author of Queer Virtue
Tonight we have a short reading by Rev. Liz Edman from her book “Queer Virtue”. Liz Edman is an out queer Episcopal Priest writing and working in the area of queer theology. Rev Edman proffers a rather interesting and unique perspective on the intersection and contribution of the queer community and Christian practice.
