Ximena Borrazás is a Uruguayan photographer and documentary filmmaker born in Montevideo in 1992. She focuses on armed conflicts, migration, and humanitarian crises. Her work combines visual sensitivity with a strong commitment to social justice, often addressing the experiences of women and displaced populations. She has published with major international outlets, including National Geographic, The Guardian, BBC, CNN, DW, France 24, Al Jazeera, and the Associated Press, and has worked with institutions such as UNHCR, UNESCO, and IOM. Ximena's project in northern Ethiopia documents the devastating aftermath of the Tigray conflict, one of the deadliest wars of the 21st century. Her images portray survivors of sexual violence, displaced families, and the enduring effects of famine and trauma. This work earned her the 2024 Tom Stoddart Award for Excellence, the Gentex Corp Personal Safety Award from the Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant, and the Africa Mundi Award for best photographic publication in Planeta Futuro of El País. Her long-term documentary project The Scars of War, which began in Tigray, combines photography, testimony, and documentation to investigate conflict-related sexual violence through a forensic lens. Rather than treating sexual violence as an isolated act, the project traces it as a weapon of war, examining physical, psychological, and social evidence left behind, and the systems, or lack thereof, that respond to it. Ximena is currently based in Ukraine where, aside from continuing to photograph, she has a full-time job as a Liaison and Communications Officer with the United Nations. On episode 286, Ximena discusses, among other things: Working for the UN in Ukraine Her first experience of visiting the Polish border The nature of working amidst drone warfare Challenges of being a freelancer in a conflict zone Why she doesn't really want to be a photographer The experience of being in Kyiv on a daily basis Her life before photography Early forays into documentary work Her project in Tigray, Ethiopia and the context of the conflict there How she began The Scars of War, her work on conflict related sexual violence How serendipity on a HEFAT course led to publication in The Guardian How some X-rays changed everything and why they were so powerful How she has extended her project to other areas, and focussed on male victims How her job at the UN combines with her advocacy work Website | Instagram Become a A Small Voice podcast member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of 200+ previous episodes for £4 per month.

Episode #561: The third episode in a three part series, this was recorded inside Malaysia's Parliament during the final stretch of Malaysia's ASEAN chairmanship. It sits where diplomacy meets consequence—non-interference, the limits of influence, and the reset button of rotating leadership. Beneath that is Malaysia's lived reality: refugees arriving as people, not headlines, often in legal limbo and reliant on UNHCR papers. MPs speak of gaps in data, barriers to legal work and schooling, strained clinics, and the politics of backlash. The first guest is Zahir Hassan, a first-term MP for Wangsa Maju in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's most densely populated constituency. An engineer and disaster-risk advocate, he treats displacement as a systems failure that has turned permanent. Refugees were meant to be part of “a few months transition,” yet some families are now third or fourth generation in Malaysia. With no legal status, “they technically cannot work. They cannot earn a living here, [so] for them to survive over the years, they have got to work illegally,” he says. Hassan also warns that Malaysia can't drift year after year without proper data, planning, burden-sharing, and serious leadership at regional levels, and that stronger action needs to be taken towards the crisis. Mohammed Suhaimi Abdullah, MP for Langkawi and a former two-term senator, describes Bukit Malut as a settlement that began in 1982 with about 12 Rohingya families, and has grown to nearly 15,000 today. Some residents, he says, “have got blue identity card,” adding, “when you have a blue card, you have to treat them like Malaysians;” despite this, he laments that much of the region is plagued by poor infrastructure and few schools. Abdullah rejects stereotypes, asserting that these Rohingya communities are “not poor people! They're very hard-working,” and adds that this fact that has created resentment among local populations who are not willing to take on equally strenuous jobs. Finally, Hassan Karim is a MP for Pasir Gudang and a lawyer shaped by civil-liberties fights. Referencing his youth, he says: “We fought any attempt by the [Malaysian] government tosuppress the space for democracy.” Karim's actions aligned with his words then, as he notes that he was arrested on sedition charges for protesting authoritarian tendencies. Concerning thecurrent influx of refugees, he calls out Malaysian society for not extending sympathy to those fleeing conflict. “This kind of humanism must transcend religions and race,” he insists. If Malaysians can mobilize around Palestinians in Gaza as a matter of human rights, he argues, they cannot practice moral compartmentalization when the persecuted are nearer, poorer, and politically inconvenient. As Karim ask openly, if Muslim solidarity is invoked loudly elsewhere, why is it so thin here? His harshest criticism, however, is for Myanmar's military, adding that currently, “I feel pessimistic. I never heard or saw any tangible effort [of progress.]”

Vor 90 Jahren wurde die Schweizerische Flüchtlingshilfe gegründet. Damals war Europa der zentrale Kriegsschauplatz und damit der Hauptschwerpunkt der globalen Flüchtlingsfrage. Heute umspannen die Flüchtlingsströme den ganzen Globus. Heute sind Flucht und Vertreibung ein globales Phänomen, das alle Kontinente betrifft. Noch nie gab es so viele Konflikte gleichzeitig und entsprechend gross sind die Flüchtlingszahlen. Laut der UNO- Flüchtlingsorganisation UNHCR sind aktuell rund 117,3 Millionen Menschen weltweit auf der Flucht. Der grösste Teil davon bleibt innerhalb des eigenen Landes, während etwa 36,4 Millionen Menschen über Grenzen hinweg Schutz suchen. Die Herausforderungen für Hilfsorganisationen sind komplexer denn je. Seit 90 Jahren setzt sich die Schweizerische Flüchtlingshilfe für Geflüchtete ein und vereint heute mehrere Organisationen, die im Flüchtlingsbereich tätig sind. Direktorin Miriam Behrens erklärt im Treffpunkt, wie sich die Arbeit verändert hat und wo sie heute an Grenzen stösst.

Sabaidee and hello! Welcome back to another episode of LEGACIES.I'm Aven, a chef, storyteller, and Advocacy Ambassador with Legacies of War – and I'm honored to be your host today.In this episode, we get to explore one of my favorite topics: the power of food to build connection, community, and even peace. I have the pleasure of speaking with Lauren Bernstein, Founder and CEO of The Culinary Diplomacy Project and one of the leading voices in using food as a tool for cross-cultural understanding.Today, Lauren and I will explore what culinary diplomacy looks like in practice—and how food can soften political divides, help us tell the truth, heal histories, and build relationships across borders.Lauren is a leading expert in culinary diplomacy, a field that uses food as a tool to build trust, foster cross-cultural understanding, and advance cooperation in times of peace and conflict. She is the founder of The Culinary Diplomacy Project, where she has led global culinary exchange programs bringing together chefs, governments, refugees, and local communities.Through her work, Lauren has partnered with the U.S. State Department, U.S. governors, the Jordanian government, UNHCR, and global hospitality and cultural institutions—creating programs where chefs cook alongside local communities and displaced people, using culturally rooted food to build connection and dignity.Trained as a lawyer and former public defender, Lauren brings a justice-oriented lens to diplomacy and food. Today, she continues to explore how food can serve not only as soft power abroad, but as a tool for healing, truth-telling, and policy change at home.Thank you dear listeners,  for tuning into LEGACIES brought to you by our Innovators Sponsors AKIN GUMP and ARTICLE22.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Trinh Tu about one of the most difficult — and surprisingly universal — questions in leadership: How do we know when, or whether, we are ready to lead? When Julia first met Trinh, she described her own journey into leadership in four stages: “No way. Dragged in. Glad I did it. No endpoint.” It's a phrase that captures something many people recognise: the uncertainty, hesitation, and vulnerability that often come with stepping into greater responsibility. Trinh Tu, Managing Director of Public Affairs at Ipsos UK, reflects candidly on why she initially resisted a senior leadership role she had repeatedly been encouraged to take. At the time, she loved the work she was already doing — and excelled at it. Leadership felt unfamiliar: more responsibility, more visibility, and more uncertainty. Most importantly, it felt like stepping into something she wasn't yet fully prepared for. But the conversation raises an uncomfortable question: Does anyone ever truly feel “ready” for leadership? Or is readiness itself partly an illusion? Through Trinh's experience of unexpectedly stepping into a major leadership role almost overnight, Julia and Trinh explore what happens when responsibility arrives before confidence fully catches up. A central theme of Trinh's story is the influence of role models. She reflects on watching her own boss lead through an incredibly difficult period and realising that leadership could look very different from what she had imagined. Instead of command and control, she witnessed decisiveness, momentum, care, and the ability to bring people together during uncertainty. The episode explores how seeing leadership embodied by someone we admire can sometimes help us believe we might be capable of it too. Julia and Trinh also discuss something often overlooked in conversations about career progression: the role of support at home. Trinh speaks openly about the importance of having a partner who both supports and challenges her — someone with a different perspective on life, who encouraged her to think more broadly about what stepping into leadership might mean, not only for herself, but for those coming after her. Together, they reflect on how family, partnership, and the perspectives of those closest to us can quietly shape our willingness to take bigger risks. The episode also explores what leadership actually feels like once you're in it: the loneliness, visibility, difficult decisions, and uncomfortable transition from being someone's peer to suddenly leading them. Trinh reflects honestly on moving from a role she had mastered to one where she often felt she was learning in real time — and why bravery sometimes has to come before confidence. A powerful idea running throughout the conversation is Trinh's belief that great leadership requires balancing anchor and momentum. In uncertain times, people need steadiness, direction, and something to hold onto — but leaders must also remain flexible, willing to adapt, and brave enough to change course when circumstances demand it. The challenge, as Trinh explains, is learning how to provide both at once. Together, Julia and Trinh explore the realities of stepping into leadership unexpectedly, the myth of feeling fully prepared, and what it really takes to lead when certainty is impossible. About the Guest Trinh Tu is Managing Director of Public Affairs at Ipsos UK, which provides policy research and services to government departments and international organisations. She brings a deep understanding of the policy landscape and the challenges affecting refugees in areas such as employment, education and healthcare. Trinh also serves as advisory board member for the independent charity BeTheBusiness, helping small businesses to enhance their productivity. Trinh and her family were refugees from Vietnam, fleeing by boat to escape persecution. Shipwrecked and stranded en route, with the compassion and help of strangers they eventually reached a refugee camp in Hong Kong. They were granted asylum in the UK, where Trinh has built a successful career. Now, she uses her experience and expertise to champion initiatives that provide refugees with the tools and support they need to thrive in the UK. “I am deeply honoured to be appointed as Vice-Chair of UK for UNHCR,” says Trinh Tu. “As a first-generation refugee, I can understand some of the challenges faced by those forced to flee their homes. In these times, with the highest number of displacements of refugees worldwide, I am committed to working alongside the dedicated team at UK for UNHCR to ensure that refugees are not only protected but also empowered to rebuild their lives and thrive.”

In 2018, Andrew O'Brien nearly lost his leg — and with it, the belief that his body could ever carry him the way it once had. Today, he's running 26.2 miles in Cape Town on May 24th to raise money for Congolese refugees through UNHCR, fueled by a love for Africa that was born during his first visit to Cape Town in 2019, was deepened in the internally displaced camps of Goma in the DRC in 2024, and cemented in the refugee camps of Burundi in 2025. This is a comeback story, a mission, and a whole lot of heart — and we're so glad he's back on the show to share it.

At a recent Immigration Newsmaker hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, Andrew Veprek, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), described a complete reorientation of the bureau, shifting it from a humanitarian assistance agency toward implementing U.S. enforcement and return priorities. The discussion offered a look at how immigration policy is increasingly being implemented through diplomacy as well as enforcement.In a discussion moderated by Mark Krikorian, Veprek said PRM is now organized around three basic functions:Remigration and Returns. Veprek outlined the work of PRM's Office of Remigration, including securing cooperation from foreign governments to facilitate the repatriation of nationals ordered removed, arranging third-country transfers when return to home countries is not possible, and supporting voluntary return efforts through Project Homecoming.International Migration and Refugee System Reform. Veprek discussed reforms to the global refugee and asylum system, and U.S. reassessment of international migration frameworks, including reduced reliance on multilateral institutions and changes in relations with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.Refugee Processing. He also detailed changes to refugee admissions, including the South Africa resettlement program, the transfer of refugee resettlement responsibilities from the State Department to HHS, increased fraud scrutiny, and the removal of UNHCR from its prior referral role in U.S. refugee admissions.Among the notable points raised during the discussion:Greater foreign cooperation from “recalcitrant” countries on accepting deportees;Use of third-country removal arrangements;Consideration of refugee protection as temporary rather than presumptively permanent;Potential increases to the refugee admissions ceiling;A more selective approach to international organizations based on U.S. interests.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestAndrew Veprek is the Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM).LinksTranscript: Immigration Newsmaker with Andrew VeprekVideo: Immigration Newsmaker with Andrew VeprekIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Suzanne Ehlers In this episode, Dr. Rob Harter sits down with Suzanne Ehlers, Executive Director and CEO of USA for UNHCR (the fundraising partner of the UN Refugee Agency), to explore how women are reshaping philanthropy—and how nonprofits can better design giving models that reflect who is actually driving decisions. Suzanne shares why traditional fundraising approaches often haven't been built with women at the center, even though women influence the vast majority of giving decisions and are poised to inherit a significant portion of global wealth. (UNHCR) Suzanne also unpacks USA for UNHCR's women-led campaign, Building Better Futures, a $15M initiative that supports refugee women through higher-education scholarships via UNHCR's DAFI program. Together, Rob and Suzanne discuss how relationship-based philanthropy, authentic storytelling, and flexible program delivery can create deeper donor engagement and more durable impact for refugee women and girls. (UNHCR) Key Topics Include: Why philanthropy models must evolve to match who drives giving decisions—and why women's leadership in giving matters How Building Better Futures centers women “soup to nuts”: donor voice, decision-making, and impact priorities The power shift from transactional fundraising to relationship-driven philanthropy and shared purpose How USA for UNHCR is helping sustain and expand the DAFI Scholarship Programme for refugee higher education Closing the gender gap in refugee education by intentionally prioritizing women scholars Storytelling that's “by and for” women—using authentic refugee voices to inspire action Why flexibility (host-country study, support systems, and virtual options) is essential for education programs in refugee contexts Mentioned in This Episode: USA for UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency fundraising partner): https://www.unrefugees.org Building Better Futures campaign: https://www.unrefugees.org/building-better-futures/ UNHCR's DAFI Tertiary Scholarship Programme: https://www.unhcr.org/us/what-we-do/build-better-futures/education/higher-education-and-skills/dafi-tertiary-scholarship-0 Suzanne Ehlers on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzanne-ehlers Not Really Strangers Podcast https://www.unrefugees.org/not-really-strangers-podcast/ (UNHCR) This Episode is Sponsored By: DonorBox Links to Resources: Interested in Leadership and Life Coaching?
