Children affected by harmful practices are too often overlooked. Intersectionality must include them to drive change.

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.
