It was a privilege to speak at the Honour-based Abuse Conference this week and hear powerful stories from victims, survivors and the agencies that support them. Tackling VAWG is my top priority and I know we must do more to end these horrific crimes.
“People at the heart of these stories deserve more than our sympathy; they deserve systems that work” A powerful message from Solicitor General @elliereeves speaking at this week's Honour-based Abuse Conference, alongside @CPSUK @ukhomeoffice and NPCC. #VAWG #HonourBasedAbuse

20 years without you Banaz. I remember this day in 2006 like it was yesterday. I retrace my steps, so many what ifs. Your memory lives on for eternity. I just want the world to see your beautiful smile, know your kind heart & bravery. You’re in my heart & mind always ❤️

Happy 40th birthday in heaven, my beautiful sister Banaz❤️ We should have been celebrating you…your beautiful life, your laughter, the woman you were becoming. You should still be here. You should be turning 40. You were meant to grow older, to live, to be surrounded by love.
