“Remember me with smiles and laughter.
for that is how I want you to remember me,
If you can only remember me with tears,
then please don’t remember me at at all."
THERE IS NO HONOUR IN HONOUR KILLING
RIP Surjit Athwal 🙏🙏
May the lamps of Diwali bring brightness and joy into our lives, and may this Bandi Chor Divas inspire us with the spirit of freedom, compassion, and unity 🙏🙏

Hina Saleem would have turned 38 today. She was killed in 2006 by her father, aged just 20 years old. Today we remember Hina and all those whose lives were lost due to 'honour'-based abuse and harmful practices.

Her enduring legacy is both a poignant reminder of the pain endured and a powerful call to action. In remembering Surjit, let's channel our collective grief into a committed pursuit of change.
