Safar is the Urdu and Arabic word for ‘journey’, which provides the perfect title for this beautifully illustrated gift book for Muslim women and girls.

Through a series of interviews with Muslim women from diverse backgrounds, Australian journalist Sarah Malik has created a book that explores personal growth and self-knowledge in the context of travel.

Safar: Travel and Transformation for Muslim Women and Girls explores the emotional and spiritual aspects of journeying, whether it be travelling to a new country or a new locale, or how these experiences affect the way Muslim women perceive – and are perceived by – the world. There are fascinating stories of love and friendship, as well as stories of how travel connects to migration, homeland, belonging, adventure, self-esteem, self-expression and identity.

Featuring stunning illustrations by Amani Haydar, this is an important and loving book that centres the experiences and perspectives of Muslim women, offering insights for readers of all backgrounds.

Sarah Malik is a Walkley-award-winning Australian investigative journalist, SBS presenter and avid traveler. Her work focuses on asylum, religion, surveillance, technology and its intersection with gender and race – most notably examining domestic violence, gender inequality and migration. She has lived in Jordan and slept under the desert stars in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Ram, climbed Asia’s highest peak Mount Kinabalu in Borneo and Malaysia, and travelled to over a dozen countries including Japan, Turkey, Palestine, Pakistan, India and much of Europe. Sarah graduated from the University of Technology, Sydney, with degrees in law and journalism. She began her career as a cadet journalist and reporter for the Australian Associated Press and has also worked as a journalism lecturer and teacher at Monash and Sydney universities.
