About the Book:

Based on the popular podcast, Asylum Speakers is a collection of 31 stories of migration, from those leaving everything they know behind them, to those working alongside them. Here are the voices that often go unheard: the humans behind the statistics and the headlines. From Syria to Venezuela, Eritrea to Afghanistan, Asylum Speakers will transcend borders, nationalities, religions and languages, connecting you to the people with whom we share this world.

"Asylum Speakers is truly an anthology of humanity. It's a reminder of how much we all have in common and that each of us has an equal right to be safe." - Josie Naughton, founder of Choose Love
"These stories are raw, powerful, intimate, at times hard to read but always full of humanity. Reading this book gives me hope." - Giles Duley, CEO of Legacy of War Foundation

About the Author: 

Jaz O'Hara, founder of the Asylum Speakers podcast, is a campaigner, fundraiser and writer on refugee rights. After visiting the ‘Jungle’ refugee camp in Calais, she began sharing the harrowing details of the camps' conditions and fundraising for the refugees held there. The end result was £150,000 worth of aid and has since provided food, shelter, clothing and Wi-Fi to refugees in the Mediterranean.
