Every time The Sun do a piece on me (without even informing me) I get Islamophobic messages. This morning I got one that said “your family should have stayed in Iraq I hope you’re all shipped back.”
Interesting take, I guess abuse is okay if doesn’t happen in the UK..?

Dear Iranian Authorities,
We stand in solidarity with Ahoo Daryaei, who courageously fought for her right to freedom of choice.
We call for her release from the psychiatric facility that you admitted her to.
This was not an act of justice, this is a violation of human rights.

I want to hold another event at MMU on honour-based abuse & forced marriages. This time, it’ll be on forced/honour suicides, where women are pressurised to commit suicide to save their family’s “honour”. I’m writing an application to get a small pot of funding to realise this 🙏🏾

I am horrified of what Tory, Kemi Badenoch said about culture not "equally valid" . I hope she will reflect and correct her statement.
SAVERA UK@SaveraUK
Tory leadership candidate Kemi Badenoch stated in a BBC interview this weekend that not all cultures were "equally valid” citing “cultures that believe in child marriage” as an example, before saying that she thought it was “extraordinary” that people thought this view (1/6)
