A refugee in Malawi shares how their treatment makes them worry about their security and feel like they don’t belong.
Today’s essay was written by a refugee living in Malawi. In order to protect their security, the author’s name is not public. Therefore, their essay is read out by The New Humanitarian’s Senior Editor for Inclusive Storytelling, Patrick Gathara.
