The Refugee Law Project, one of the ten organisations involved in the Human Rights House Project in Kampala, is hosting a seminar on 27 October called ´Implementing the Right to Education for Refugees in Uganda´. With the accumulated number of refugees and internally displaced people within Uganda´s borders now in excess of two million people, violations of these people´s rights are also a massive problem. (22-OCT-05)
 
RLP offices in Old Kampala.jpgRLP´s experience is that both refugees and internally displaced persons often prioritise education as a way to ensure a better future for their children. The hope for the above mentioned seminar is that a dialogue session discussing education policies and programmes in situations of displacement will serve to generate ideas to improve educational opportunities for refugees.
