Laura is a barrister at No.5 Chambers in London, well-known for her expertise in mental health

The atrocities committed during the Rwandan genocide left lasting psychological scars on the majority of its survivors, making the drafting of its mental health legislation all the more poignant, says Laura Davidson.
