We Are Displaced by Malala Yousafzai

5.0

It never fails to shock me how people take peace for granted. I am grateful for it every day. Not everyone has it. Millions of men, women, and children witness wars every day. Their reality is violence, homes destroyed, innocent lives lost. And the only choice they have for safety is to leave. To "choose" to be displaced. That is not much of a choice.

Want to do something for refugees? Read this book. Malala has compiled stories from refugee girls from all around the world. It is a fast read as the stories are brief, but incredibly moving and powerful. If you’ve been lost with where to start to help refugees, one important thing you can do is read the stories of these girls. As the book notes in an afterword, “empathy is key.”
