PHOTOS: Hundreds go through refugee experience at inaugural SA Step for Safety

Tens of millions of refugees have found homes on the African continent, and in an effort to raise awareness for them, the first South African Step for Safety Walk was held on 10 February.

The LuQuLuQu movement was started in November 2017 by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) with the intention of transforming public perceptions of the African refugee. Every year, millions of refugees flee their home countries out of fear for their lives, while billions of ordinary people around the world stand by and judge them as cowards who run away from a situation they feel they could have survived.
