Personal Stories from Six Decades of Refugee Protection

Six refugees who arrived in Australia over the six decades since the ratification of the Refugee Convention tell stories of their journeys to safety in Australia, bringing personal perspectives on refugee movements from Eastern Europe, Latin America, South-East and South-West Asia and Africa. 

This event was organised by the Refugee Council of Australia in memory of Kenneth Deakin Rivett (1923-2004), a founding member of the Refugee Council and the Australian Refugee Foundation, a committed advocate for immigration reform and an Associate Professor in economics at the UNSW.
