What If It Were You? is Elizabeth\'s debut Poetry Collection which seeks to raise awareness of the struggles fought by many--including herself--and to call for peace, justice and humanity across the globe.
A longstanding activist and campaigner, she works with a variety of non-profit organisations to tackle a range of Human rights, interfaith, social and cultural issues including FGM, child marriage, modern slavery, interfaith and intrafaith cohesion, LGBTQI exclusion, and Islamophobia.
About the Author Elizabeth Arif-Fear is the Founder and Editor of Voice of Salam--an internationally recognised Human Rights and interfaith platform.
Arif-Fear uses her wealth of experience campaigning for Human Rights and a more just society to express these global injustices through Poetry based upon real people and real issues.
Social cohesion and justice are often compromised in the name of religion, culture or for financial and/or political reasons.
The subject matter ranges from women struggling to break free from restrictive socio-cultural norms, to communities in conflict and under repressive rule.
The hard-hitting realism of Arif-Fear\'s Poetry uncovers the reality of child marriage, modern slavery, female genital mutilation and many other forms of abuse, and presents such issues in a way which is direct and uncompromising.
These evocative and thought-provoking poems draw back the curtain on the men, women and children who suffer in silence, giving a voice to those whose rights, freedom and wellbeing are so often compromised.
For many, such nightmares are unimaginable: however, across the world, these struggles are all too real.
