Our founder, Jasvinder Sanghera @Jas_Sanghera_, has been awarded a Damehood in recognition of her tireless efforts and significant contributions to supporting victims of forced marriages and Honour Based Abuse. Congratulations Dame Jasvinder Sanghera!
Jasvinder founded Karma Nirvana in 1993 after escaping from a forced marriage, and after her sister’s death. The organisation has since become a beacon of hope and a critical resource for victims, providing a safe haven and advocating for legislative changes to protect those at risk. Under her leadership, Karma Nirvana has grown into a nationally recognised charity, instrumental in shaping policies and transforming lives.
Upon receiving the honour, Jasvinder expressed her gratitude:
“The overwhelming emotions I am currently experiencing upon receiving one of the highest honours possible in the United Kingdom cannot be adequately expressed. Being awarded a Damehood fills me with immense pride and gratitude."
"I reflect on the fact that many have perceived me as being without honour. I believe that my honour is their shame.”
Receiving the Damehood is a testament to Jasvinder’s unwavering commitment to justice and her exceptional contributions to society. Her work has not only supported victims but has also paved the way for long-term societal change and promoting human rights.

A very honest interview from me. If we all were more open & transparent the world would be a safer place. Victims & survivors should have a seat at every table. The voice of such experiences speak to the heart of change. https://t.co/PRU0dudU3b
