The day war came
A powerful and necessary picture book - the journey of a child forced to become a refugee when war destroys everything she has ever known. Imagine if, on an ordinary day, war came. Imagine it turned your town to rubble. Imagine going on a long and difficult journey - all alone. Imagine finding no welcome at the end of it. Then imagine a child who gives you something small but very, very precious ... When the government refused to allow 3000 child refugees to enter this country in 2016, Nicola Davies was so angry she wrote a poem. It started a campaign for which artists contributed drawings of chairs, symbolising a seat in a classroom, education, kindness, the hope of a future. The poem has become this book, movingly illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, which should prove a powerful aid for explaining the ongoing refugee crisis to younger readers.

School Leadership for Refugees' Education
School Leadership for Refugees' Education examines how educational leaders shape and lead different practices to meet refugee students' educational needs, while also considering issues of equity and social justice. It presents cutting-edge theoretical understanding and rich first-hand research findings, which point out the local idiosyncrasies and cross-national themes involved in leading welcoming schools for newcomers.
The book provides a global analysis of policy guidelines and up-to-date research findings concerning refugee education. Vast populations have been forced to leave their homelands in recent years due to war, political conflict and economic collapse. The countries that provide sanctuary need to ensure quality education that will allow these destitute but hopeful children to build a new future. Through this book a comprehensive model is presented to guide culturally relevant educational leadership to welcome newcomers in their schools and society.
This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of educational leadership, social justice education and educational administration.

The effect of simulation-based breast health education on breast cancer awareness and breast self-examination skills of Afghan refugee women: a randomized controlled trial
Objectives
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of simulation-based breast health education on Afghan women's awareness of breast cancer, including knowledge of its risk factors, signs, and symptoms, as well as to improve their breast self-examination skills.
Study design
This study was a pre-test, post-test, parallel-arm randomized controlled trial.
Methods
The study sample consisted of 46 Afghan women, with 23 participants assigned to each of the intervention and control groups using block randomization. This study was conducted at the Social Development and Aid Mobilization (SGDD-ASAM) in Ankara, Türkiye. The intervention group received simulation-based breast health training. Each session of breast health education was 180 min. The simulation used a one-to-one show-and-do technique, which took approximately 120 min. Data were collected using the Breast Cancer Awareness Measure and the Breast Self-Examination Skill Assessment Form. The data were analyzed with the IBM SPSS 26 program. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the study data, including mean, standard deviation, percentage, and frequency distribution. The Shapiro–Wilk normality test was applied for further analysis. The Chi-Square (X
2
) Test was used to compare outcomes between groups. The significance level of
p
< 0.05 was considered.
Results
After the simulation-based training, there was a significant increase in confidence, skills, and behavior awareness among participants in the intervention group compared to the control group (
p
< 0.001). While there was no change in the control group, awareness of breast cancer, knowledge, and skills in the intervention group were predominantly rated as sufficient.
Conclusions
The simulation-based breast health education intervention for Afghan refugee women was found to be a practical and innovative approach to raising breast cancer awareness and providing breast self-examination skills. This intervention may play a significant role in identifying at-risk individuals and raising their awareness. If sustained, this could potentially increase future screening participation and early detection, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes. It is recommended that policymakers and health professionals prioritize the integration of simulation-based health education into prevention and health promotion strategies targeting disadvantaged populations, such as refugees and migrants, to improve early diagnosis and advance health equity.

Borderless Higher Education for Refugees
Higher education is increasingly recognized as crucial for the livelihoods of refugees and displaced populations caught in emergencies and protracted crises, to enable them to engage in contemporary, knowledge-based, global society. This book tells the story of the Borderless Higher Education for Refugees (BHER) project which delivers tuition-free university degree programs into two of the largest protracted refugee camps in the world, Dadaab and Kakuma in Kenya. Combining a human rights approaches, critical humanitarianism and a concern with gender relations and intersecting inequalities, the book proposes that higher education can provide refugees with the possibility of staying put or returning home with dignity. Written by academics based in Canada, Kenya, Somalia and the USA, as well as NGO workers and students from the camps, the book demonstrates how North-South and South-South collaborations are possible and indeed productive.

Experts from many troubled parts of the world consider the scope of the problem, and the tools needed to address the crisis.
