10. Planning scenario
You are a human rights advocate who is working with assisting organizations, including UNHCR, to determine the best shelter option for LGBTI refugees in Kenya. Do you recommend housing LGBTI refugees like David in:

3. Confined and shared safe houses?

11. What actually happened
See instructor notes for full story
Many Ugandan LGBTI refugees in Kenya were housed in existing refugee camps. This was recommended by UNHCR to comply with the government’s encampment policy, which has been more strictly enforced over the last two years. It also placed the refugees closer to existing services. Note that, in some cases in Kenya, non-Ugandan LGBTI refugees under extreme threat in camps do live in scattered urban housing and have their rent subsidized by an NGO. However, this occurs more rarely. Safe houses are not generally utilized in Kenya.
