With this small booklet “A World of Whispers” (published 2018), we aim to foster a better understanding of the plight faced by a people who have experienced four decades of war and the loss of life, livelihoods and property, displacement and exile. Having talked to hundreds of Afghans, we feel the need to present the reality of people’s lives that goes beyond stereotypical media coverage of the phenomenon of refugees attempting to reach Europe. Using first-hand accounts that have been fictionalised and anonymized to protect the identity of the protagonists, our aim is to provide an insight into the difficult choices that Afghans face in dealing with the multiple challenges confronting them.
