Day 5 of our Week of Memory 2024

Today, on the fifth day of our Week of Memory, we release the third video of our spotlight series. Yasmin Javed, the mother of Fawziyah Javed comes forward to discuss Fawziyah as more than what happened to her, why she decided to film The Push, and why it’s important to her to continue striving for change.

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.
