Malala's newest book is available now!

In "We Are Displaced," Malala shares her own journey and those of displaced young women around the world. Their stories are important reminders that even when girls are forced from their homes, they don't leave behind their dreams for the future.

Because of violence or persecution, 70.8 million people are currently unable to return to their homes. More than half of all refugees are children. In Malala Yousafzai’s new book, "We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World," she introduces the girls behind the numbers.

"What tends to get lost in the current refugee crisis is the humanity behind the statistics," says Malala. "We hear about millions of refugees, hundreds of migrants trapped on a boat or in a truck, but it’s only when a truly shocking image appears in the news that people consider what’s really going on.”

Forced to flee their homes because of conflict, persecution or natural disaster, refugees experience on average of 20 years of insecurity. That often means no home, no education and no country to call their own.

The book opens with Malala’s own story of displacement. As a child, her family fled Taliban rule and lived as displaced people in other parts of Pakistan. After relocating to Birmingham following her attack, Malala was unable to return to her home country for six years.

“We Are Displaced” introduces girls from Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria and around the world — many of whom Malala has met through her campaign for girls’ education. They share their stories of struggle, triumph and hope.

The book is available now in Australia, New Zealand, U.K. and U.S. The proceeds from sales of the book will go toward Malala Fund’s work to see every girl in school.
