Week of Memory – Day 2

Today, on the second day of our Week of Memory, we spoke to Jasvinder Sanghera, looking at the history of our Day of Memory as well as her recent Damehood.

Every year, we host our Day of Memory event, dedicated to remembering Shafilea Ahmed on her birthday, the 14th of July. Shafilea, a British-born girl, was tragically murdered by her parents at the age of 17 in 2003, due to her refusal to accept a marriage.


This year, we will be commemorating this important day through a virtual ‘Week of Memory’ campaign (#WeRemember, #WeekOfMemory), from 8th July to 14th July.
