Fazal Sheikh. "...In 2001 the writer/photographer Fazal Sheikh, with support from the Swiss-based Volkart Foundation, conceived of a series of book projects which would further the awareness of human rights issues around the world. This site has been mounted to coincide with the publication of the first two volumes in the series, A Camel for the Son and Ramadan Moon, which concern the situation of women refugees from Somalia. As part of the ideology behind the series, the books are being offered in their entirety on-line, where they may be read free of charge."
