Podcast 30 - Kawthoolei: Karen refugees in Thailand

In December of 2003 Outer Voices travelled to Thailand to interview Karen women refugees from Burma.

The Burmese military is waging a military offensive against many of the country’s eastern ethnic groups. The conflict is forcing thousands of refugees - mostly Karen minorities -to abandon their villages in search of safety in Thailand.

Outer Voices worked with the Karen Women’s Organization, who have mounted an organized resistance against the Burmese military dictatorship as they continue to support their families and communities living in the refugee camps.
