On Tuesday 2nd July at Walthmastow School for Girls a team of students, supported by hardworking members of staff came together to present a Charity Fundraising Dinner raising awareness of Forced Marriage and Honour Based Abuse. The evening was hosted by year 11 student Arifa Nasim and included speeches from esteemed guests such as Jasvinder Sanghera CBE and Director of Karma Nirvana, Chaz Akoshile. I also listened to touching survivor stories and a riveting address from Rt hon Barroness Scotland QC. The evening included a commemorative presentation on victim Shafilea Ahmed, powerful drama and dance performances and poetry recitals. The evening was a resounding success that not only marked twenty years of the charity Karma Nirvana's tireless efforts, but also succeeded in inspiring members of our community.
