- Abstract
Displaced populations are often the most vulnerable and at-risk people in our world today. Many end up becoming victims of human smuggling and trafficking, and they are often subjected to intolerable living conditions and uncertainty regarding their future. What can displaced populations teach us about peace? Using a storytelling method, Karen refugees along the Thai-Burmese border describe peace as encompassing, embodying quality of life, both social and personal. It comprises an interdisciplinary spectrum of socioeconomic, political, psychosocial, and educational elements. Peace for Karen refugees requires a collaborative action among government and nongovernment organizations.
