break their silence.
“Robina’s death was the trigger
for me to come out of hiding – to
hold my head up and say ‘You are
the perpetrators, not me’,” she said.
Her charity worked with Refuge
to find safe havens for those with
nowhere to run. And her
helpline, The Honour
Network, had more than
300 calls a month, some
from girls as young as 11.
Jasvinder, now 54, got
the Special Recognition
Award at the 2009 Pride
of Britain, and a CBE in

2013. “I’m proud to be
      British and take my Pride
      of Britain award with me
      wherever I go,” she says.
      Karma Nirvana is now 25 years
      old and Jasvinder stepped down as
      CEO last year. But her passion for
      helping others remains.
      “I will always want to raise
      awareness on the issue,” she says.

JASVINDER Sanghera was 14 when

her mum showed her a photo of the

man she would wed.

Two years later, the brave teen

ran away to escape the marriage.

Disowned by her parents, she

went into hiding for eight years,

sleeping rough and fearing reprisals

from her family, who

moved to Britain from

India in the 1950s.

But when older sister

Robina, 24, set herself

alight to escape her own

abusive marriage,

Jasvinder returned to

Derby determined to help

others suffering in silence.

She set up the charity

Karma Nirvana in 1994,

dedicating her life to

helping men and women fleeing

forced marriages, domestic violence

and threats of honour killings.

Despite death threats and

constant harassment, Jasvinder

campaigned tirelessly, telling her

Unions: Staff

need extra

bank holiday

UNION chiefs will today

demand Brits get more

bank holidays as families

enjoy their last three-day

weekend until Christmas.

The Trades Union

Congress says the eight

bank holidays per year in

England and Wales are the

least generous offering of

any country in the EU.

They are urging Britain

to match the EU average of

12 holidays per year.

And they say at least one

of them should be between

now and Christmas Day.

TUC leader Frances

O’Grady said new tech-

nology should mean more

time off “but instead work

is becoming more intense”.

‘Cross-party

solution’ may

fix care crisis

BORIS Johnson called for

cross-party talks to tackle

Britain’s social care crisis.

The move could mean

new delays to a long-

awaited Government over-

haul of the system.

The Prime Minister said

at the G7 in Biarritz adult

care was “a huge issue”.

He said he wanted to

“bring parties together

across the political divide

and get a consensus”.

Ministers had been

expected to outline their

proposals in a consultation

document from the health

department.

A recent House of Lords

committee report called

for £8billion a year to fix

“underfunding”.

£378,668 more in travel

costs, analysis of House of

Lords data shows. And

two of the biggest claim-

ants, Lord Trefgarne and

the Earl of Caithness, are

Tories accused of helping

block a bid to axe heredi-

tary peers earlier this year.

There is no suggestion any claims

were against rules. But campaigners

said they show the system’s absurdity.

Shadow Cabinet Office Minister

Jon Trickett said: “The idea taxpayers

are propping up unelected members

of the old aristocratic fami-

lies is beyond a joke.”

Hereditary peers were

mostly banished from the

Lords, which the Mirror

is campaigning to scrap,

in 1999 but 92 remained.

A Lords spokesman said:

“Members are not full-time politi-

cians but bring experience and

expertise from outside Parliament.”
