With little support and often under threat, members of the Karen Women?s Organisation have conducted research, provided programmes and support, and challenged the wisdom of international NGOs and UNHCR...In 2005 the Royal Thai Government eased restrictions and allowed resettlement from the camps on the Thai- Burmese border to countries in the West. The impact of resettlement in the camps has been of great concern to the Karen Women?s Organisation (KWO)1 for several years. They want the voices of the refugees, in particular refugee women, and of their community-based organisations to be heard in discussions on the provision of durable solutions. Sadly, refugee women have to scream to be heard whispering.
