Refugee Week Events
posted: 25/05/2010
As part of Refugee Week, George House Trust exhibited Destination Unknown at the Manchester Museum on Saturday 12th June.
Destination Unknown is a powerful and thought provoking exhibition of photographs and digital stories put together by the African HIV Policy Network. This was followed by panel debate drawing on the themes of the exhibition: is it inhumane to deport people living with HIV who are on treatments to countries where these treatments are not accessible?
