Overview
Karma Nirvana is a registered Charity that supports victims and survivors of forced marriage and honour based abuse. The words Karma Nirvana simply mean 'Peace and Enlightenment' as we hope our victims will achieve this through our work
We are your listening ear in confidence and many of us have the experience of forced marriage and issues related to honour based abuse. We are here for you when your at home or when you leave and will talk over the phone wherever you are. One of our key principles is that we never talk to or engage with your family. Our commitment and loyalty is to you and as we understand the fears when family members become involved
Our team consists of survivors who themselves have been through issues, therefore we are able to offer a service for you to speak to a survivor. The project was established by Jasvinder Sanghera a survivor of forced marriage.
Our aim is to raise public awareness on the issues of Honour Based Abuse and Forced Marriage. In breaking the silence we provide education through accredited training, including seminars, conferences and workshops. Our expert call handlers provide confidential listening support, options and guidence to all professionals, victims and survivors of honour based abuse through our national helpline.
