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 day serves as a poignant reminder of Shafilea’s story, and the countless lives lost to Honour Based Abuse.
This year, we will be hosting our Day of Memory conference on the 14th July 2025 in Leeds. More details will be released and published here soon.
