Ending GM collectively means actively resisting patriarchal violence, upholding every woman’s and girl’s right to basic dignity, bodily autonomy, self-determination, and freedom over her identity and spiritual beliefs.

On the anniversary of Banaz Mahmod’s untimely death, we remember her and all victims of ‘honour’ based abuse and violence, these murders are a painful outcry for better responses to protect victims of honour-based abuse.

A few weeks before her murder, Banaz’s father tried to kill her by forcing her to drink alcohol to restrain her. Fearing for her life, she escaped by breaking a window, injuring herself in the process, and made a desperate call to the police from a payphone.

Remembering Banaz as she'd have been 39- a vibrant, kind & caring young woman, a bubbly soul full of hopes and dreams. We reaffirm our commitment to dismantling the concept of so-called ‘honour’, a deeply harmful practice often disguised as cultural or religious tradition.

Banaz loved children and shared a close bond with her sisters, nephew and her grandmother, often accompanying her for grocery shopping. Banaz aspired to gain work experience caring for elderly people, as her sister Payzee Mahmod has fondly shared these fond memories.

We are concerned that latest data from the Home Office on 'honour' based abuse shows an 8% decrease in police reports. Sign our petition calling for a statutory definition, and improved data collection and training
