Activist Malala Yousufzai is ready to launch her third book titled We are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World on January 8.

The book will be published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, the publishers of her debut book.

According to Parade Magazine, Malala in her new book will “shed light on her unique experiences as well as the struggles of various other young refugee girls she has met on her journey”.

She talks about first being internally displaced in Pakistan as a child, followed by her struggle of not being able to return to her home country.

“It’s titled We Are Displaced because together we want to help others better understand the refugee crisis and how they can help,” said Malala in an interview with the magazine.

Moreover, she introduces some of the refugees behind the statistics and the journeys of other young girls like her – two of these are Zaynab and Muzoon’s stories.

“I hope Zaynab and Muzoon’s stories remind readers that refugees are so much more than staggering statistics or tragic headlines,” she optimistically tells Parade Magazine.

“I hear girls say they want to get an education so that one day they can return home to rebuild what conflicts or natural disasters have destroyed it,” tells Malala, highlighting the importance of a homeland in every refugee’s story.
