In this powerful episode, Gamila and Nadia Ali from BBC Asian Network join us to share their experiences of surviving honor-based abuse, as part of the UK Government’s honour-based abuse campaign.
Gamila opens about the deep trauma she endured—from being forced into marriage with her first cousin - who she had never met, to the humiliation of virginity testing, to enduring years of abuse before finally finding freedom. Nadia, who also faced a form of Honour-Based Abuse, in the form of coercive control in her first marriage, shares her journey and discusses her commitment to advocating for those affected by these abusive behaviours. Join us for an unfiltered conversation about resilience, courage, and the strength it takes to reclaim your life.
