Calling for a day of memory for victims of honour-based violence.

Karma Nirvana, a charity that supports victims and survivors of forced marriage and honour-based abuse, partnered with Cosmopolitan, the world’s largest women’s magazine brand, earlier this year, to lobby Theresa May MP.

They are asking May to establish a day of memory for all the women killed in what is known as ‘honour-based violence’ (HBV).

The day of memory being proposed is 14 July, the birthday of Shafilea Ahmed – who lost her life in 2003.
