This is the most popular campaign
Hi my names Jas Kaur and as a young British Asian the campaign I would like to launch is Honour. You may not know what an honour killing is as it is mainly enclosed within the Asian community. An honour killing is basically the murder of a family member, generally female due to her refusing arranged marriage, having premarital sex or for finding the opposite sex attractive. It is a huge problem for young Asians as they do not know that help is available. Some people accept their fate as they are unaware that help is available. My main message to send is dont accept the fate your family are giving you, choose your own and dont suffer in silence.

I support your campaign Jaz as i also believe that it needs to be brought into light rather than be hidden like the asian community tend to do. It is a problem faced by many people and you're absolutly right about people who need to know that there is help available. A campaign like this needs to be supported in order to help so many people out there. Go you :D :D xxxxx

Hiya guys I just wanted to say could you please keep all comments clean, free of accusations and any type of abuse please. Thanks. Jaz

Being part of a typical asian family (i'm bengali - eurghh!),I fully support Jaz' campaign. More awareness needs to be made and help given to those so that asian girls and guyz - u neva no - can be the beautiful person they really are without the fear of being killed. You shouldn't have to forcibly hide your body and arranged marriages are so last season. Yeah it's prolly gna hapen 2 meh datz y im rootin 4 jaz all d way.We shd all b abl 2do waeva we wnt hence d reasn y freewill wz bestowd upon us all.Go4 it love n do us all proud.Mwaahz.Love ya loadz darlin, n gud luk.

Jaz is a very clever and unique girl who is passionate about this campaign. Honour killings are a terrible reality to some asian families and i fully support Jaz in her battle to fight this monstrosity.

This topic needs more attention. ALthough it doesn't affect me personally, i've heard of sooooooooo many honour killing stories, and people really need to know about it. Go on Jas!!!

yo this is a great campaign n i think every young asian today should back it. Arranged marriages and forced marriages are still common today and a common factor for honour killings so as a british asian i fully support this n wish u the best of luck!!

Go for it. People need to understand the issues the younger asian generation face and that guys comment below is so dumb. Go read a book or get involved
