Open Fund public awareness campaign & statutory abuse pathways for honour-based abuse

Created by Samuel Barrett
Closes on

Fund a statutory abuse pathway for victims of honour-based abuse that allow victims to receive the help they need to escape the situation they are in and fund a national public awareness campaign so the public can spot if someone is a victim and help accordingly.

Honour-based abuse are usually offences committed by a family member to a usually younger member of the family who is assumed to have brought disrespect to the family. Examples of honour-based abuse include rape, acid attacks or murder.

I’m creating this campaign because I feel there are not many cases of people speaking up for themselves if they are a victim, as it is against their own family and their family may try to cover up the abuse. If there are more easy and accessible ways to get help, people may be able to get out of the situation they are in more easily.
