No refuge: this is the harsh reality encountered by the women and
children who flee Syria in search of safety. When boatloads of
Syrian refugees began arriving on European shores in the spring
of 2015, Western television screens were filled with images of
men. Where, journalist Maria von Welser asked herself, were the
women and children, whom she knew made up over half the
population of refugee camps?

In these pages, von Welser reveals the hidden stories of those
Syrian women and children. There are stories of desperation and
predation: loss of wealth and of life, child marriage, rape,
kidnapping, and sex slavery. But there are also stories of
empowerment and hope―including the conviction that we can turn
compassion into real change.
