Welcome to Litsy!

A good anthology to expand understanding of being a refugee. One writing raises an interesting question about categories & perceptions of refugees, who does & does not fit, changing with the times. One security guard was infuriating to me, describing a Syrian woman & children as "economic migrants," even after telling him her horrific story.

The first entry in this anthology of writings by asylum seekers is gut wrenching. 😞

On sale from Book Depository! Anxious to dive into this timely piece.

In a world of negativity, scaremongering and hatred, this book reminds us of the human cost of conflicts, both past and present. It challenges the language used by politicians and the media. And more importantly, it shows that we can make a difference.

"Love is stronger and more sustainable than hate."

A few words on the responsibilities of the media in the world of human rights, and the positive outcomes that can be achieved when they use their power for good. #WilliamBoyd #WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility

Just started reading this anthology on asylum seekers. It aims to be a positive voice amongst all the hatred spewed out by the media. Very moving. And funded through Unbound, which produces books through readers pledges. #ACountryofRefuge #Unbound
