We Are Displaced

This collection of accounts, compiled by Malala Yousafzai, tells the stories of displaced young women from around the world. The stories cover why they had to flee their homeland, the journey they took when they left, and the many difficulties they encountered as they sought to relocate to new countries, including danger, racism, discrimination, poverty, economic disparity, and uncertainty. The narratives are relatable and accessible to junior high students and will help students understand international conflicts, the effects of conflicts on individuals, and how countries work to welcome the millions of displaced individuals who struggle to find a place in a new country.
