”It was physical abuse, it was sexual abuse, there was everything going on. I ran away when I was 13. I hid out there for 4 weeks until the police found me. They asked me why I had run away but they didn’t want to do anything about it." - Barbara S

"A lot of non-Muslims feel that what they are seeing on the news is Islam. I have found that the best way to address that is to create a platform where we say 'we are ready to talk to you if you want to talk to use' & these books are a part of that." - Mufti A.

"With them sitting there saying they love ya, yet they don’t love your race and they can actually downgrade you. I think that’s where Mum gets confused again, like where does she fit in?" - Leanne B.
