What is “refuge”? A place without violence, discrimination, persecution, fear. A place where you can be who you are, grow, nurture your children or family as you want to as long as it does no harm to others. ‘Refuge’ has to be created – it can’t just be stamped on a bit of paper.
‘Refuge’ is a place where it won’t happen again.
