Written by Malala Yousafzai - Nobel Peace Prize winner and New York Times bestseller, international activist and terrorism survivor, Internally Displaced Person and refugee - who masterfully intertwines her own memoir with real-life experiences of fellow refugee girls, We are Displaced is a book that must be read.  When anyone, particularly the young girls whose journeys are shared herein, loses their community, their home, their friends, sometimes their relatives, there is a heartache that just cannot be soothed except to go home, which is impossible.  
 
Understanding the plight of immigrants, refugees, asylum-seekers in a time of war, border conflicts, natural disasters, and now pandemics is vital to recognize that every single one of the currently displaced persons is actually a person and not just a number .  It is vital to recognize that every one of the 79.5 million+ displaced people, as of the end of 2019, have hopes and dreams of life, of a new life.
