Regram: #UnitedNations Global Communications chief melissarfleming My refugees colleague Monique Sokhan has devoted her life to serving refugees. Her own refugee story of fleeing the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia is remarkable. Monique survived the #Cambodian genocide, having fled the Khmer Rouge terror when she was just a small child. “It’s difficult because you’re wondering why others have died and you’re alive. And for those who did not survive - I felt like having a responsibility somehow to do something that would make them proud of me.” Monique now works as UNHCR Senior Protection Coordinator for Asia and the Pacific. In our new, bitesize episode of Awake At Night, she reflects on her quest to understand the perpetrators of genocide, on reserving judgment, and on the unanswered questions that continue to haunt her. 📸: refugees/Susan Hopper
