Asylum Speakers
Meet 30 extraordinary people - from refugees and asylum seekers to those on the frontline helping them - and hear about the life-changing journeys they have made. We are currently experiencing the biggest humanitarian crisis of our time. Across the world, from Ukraine to Sudan to Mexico, people are forced to flee their homes every day due to conflict, climate change and persecution. And devastatingly, the scale of this crisis is only predicted to get worse: by 2050, 1 in 10 people on earth will be displaced. Having met and interviewed hundreds of people impacted by migration, charity founder Jaz O'Hara shares 30 remarkable and inspiring stories, from refugees to volunteers working on the frontline: ordinary people with extraordinary experiences. Each story is accompanied by stunning photography, family photos, maps, and drawings. Here are the voices that often go unheard: the humans behind the statistics and the headlines. Asylum Speakers will transcend borders, nationalities, religions, and languages, connecting you to the people with whom we share this world: our worldwide tribe.
