Ashiana - A refuge that helps people trapped in Forced Marriages
Over the past few months the problem of Forced Marriage and so called honour-based violence has been in the headlines, not least with the tragic murder of a north London teenager. In December 2009 Mehmet Goran was jailed for the murder of his 15 year old daughter Tulay in an “honour” killing.
East London based Ashiana are a domestic violence support project that has helped many people across the capital, mainly women, escape the trap of forced marriage. They have also recently set up a new refuge. Ben Cooper went to their offices in Leytonstone and spoke to director Shaminder Ubhi.
