Refugee celebrates 'sense of stability at last' as UK offers hope and relief from suffering

A former refugee who came to the UK with her young children as she fled domestic violence has lauded our nation as "the most welcoming place" as it's given her "stability at last".

Kana Josée, 43, has shared her story of strength and hope as Refugee Week comes to an end, highlighting how her idea of "home" has changed since being displaced from her birth country Rwanda, and since then her previous residence in The Netherlands.

The mum of two now lives happily in Oldham, Greater Manchester, is a confident business professional with an online fashion company, a charity worker and inspires others. Her journey is featured in a poignant short film, created by UK for UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), in which nine refugees share their tales of strength having all been forcibly displaced from their homes.
