Yesterday we attended the Forced and #HonourBasedSuicide event at @ManMetUni, hosted by @Maz_Idriss
An overlooked, urgent form of violence against women and girls.
This is an issue that affects us all.
Here’s how the day unfolded.⬇️
8.Finally, Sophie spoke about the campaign moving forward and how professionals, agencies and sectors can work together to reform practice and policy.
This isn’t just about awareness. It’s about action.

#Bradford#DomesticAbuse#CHAB
Every year, women across the UK die by suicide after prolonged abuse masked as “honour”. Honour and Forced Suicide is a serious form of male violence against women and girls.
On 13 May at MMU, we will be demanding justice and pushing for legal reform.

🚨 More victims of domestic abuse are dying by suicide than being killed by a partner, yet only 3% of abusers in these cases have faced charges.
These deaths are not inevitable. They are preventable. And they must not be ignored.
#VAWG#JusticeMatters
Last week, we attended the 20-year anniversary event of the Forced Marriage Unit at the FCDO in London. A powerful gathering of survivors, frontline voices and sector leaders.
A moving reminder of how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go. #EndForcedMarriage
This report highlights the alarming rise in suicides following DA, but it fails to address forced and honour based suicides.
We must act now to protect victims.
