“The only difference between you and me is a passport.”
These are the heartfelt words of many migrants and refugees seeking freedom and safety. For many, a passport is simply a means to travel, but for millions of migrants and refugees, a passport represents freedom, the right to live and work in other places and a better way of life.
It is the golden ticket they need to live, to really belong. Hear Our Stories is a collection of poetry and prose about despair, hope, sadness, gratitude, and a sense of relief told by those who journey to the UK looking for a better life – the opportunity to be themselves, to connect with relatives and families or to work and grow.
