Honouring and remembering…

You are invited to attend a remembrance service in memory and deep respect to Banaz Mahmod Babakir Agha a victim of the so called Honour killing
“Banaz never had a funeral, her grave is without a name or a memorial, let us pay her the respect she deserves”
Organised by the Combating “Honour” Based Violence Forum on Tuesday 26th June 2007 from 1-4 pm
At 1pm
* The remembrance service will start with a meeting to share our memories, thoughts and experiences about Banaz and other victims of the so called Honour Killing.
* Venue: Morden Assembly Hall, Turdo Drive, Morden, Surrey SM4 4PJ

I can’t make it due to work, but have the full details if you can. Reading police pledges (again!) to do better to protect women, I shivered at this paragraph:

In one instance where she had escaped from her father, she was not taken seriously, and described as melodramatic and manipulative by an officer who interviewed her.
