'Two years ago, writer Saba Vasefi devised an ambitious initiative to create a safe creative place for exiled women and non- binary people, a place to soothe, restore and lift the despondency common to many who find themselves in a state of exile. Her efforts inaugurated Writing in Resistance and found a place at Red Room Poetry. The project provides writing and performance mentorship, editing and translation, paid publication, and public performance. Here, Dr Vasefi outlines her mission.' (Introduction)
