“It’s really important that awareness is raised amongst the youth as well. It’s the youth that will take this work forward.”

For Day of Memory, ‘Honour’-based abuse survivor Saliha Rashid tells her story – working to educate young people about HBA and inspiring others in her campaign to end gender-based violence and other harmful practices.

Thanks to Savera UK for bringing this important topic to the attention of VoiceBox’s young community. It is work like this that highlights the importance of listening to young people and providing platforms which amplify their voices.

Please note: this interview includes sensitive topics that some people might find difficult. Please visit our Resources Page or Savera UK for help.
