Description
Book Synopsis
Drawing on the perspectives of women and children displaced from Ukraine, as well as local authority policy makers and service providers, this book provides a unique view of the direct and indirect consequences of war in Europe.
Part of the Social Determinants of Health series, this book reviews the socioeconomic challenges faced by the UK and other European countries and suggests ways that these 'wicked issues' should be addressed. It is essential reading for local authorities, national governments and humanitarian organisations.
Review Quotes
"Bonner raises silenced voices of vulnerability, picking up on the vocations of those who have lived out their paradigm with skill and conviction. The naming of war as a consequence of evil helps us digest this read with hope while unpacking injustices and, by comparison, shapes justice in the way of compassionate determination." Christine MacMillan, Salvation Army International Social Justice Commission and United Nations Multi-Faith Advisory Council
"This book highlights the importance of the voluntary sector in recovery and maintenance of health for victims of war. It uncovers how, after years of austerity and a hostile environment, the needs of migrant populations have grown and must be addressed to ensure equity of service at both a national and local level." Maria Wilby, Refugee, Asylum seeker & Migrant Action
