1058: Nina Aouilk | Ending Forced Marriage and Honor Killings Part Two
1Description
End Honour Killings co-founder Nina Aouilk reveals the shocking reality of forced marriage, domestic slavery, and honor killings in the West. [Pt. 2/2 — find Pt. 1 here!]
What We Discuss with Nina Aouilk:
- Nina Aouilk survived multiple instances of severe domestic abuse, including an attempted honor killing by her family and years of control and violence from her partner.
- Honor killings and forced marriages are still occurring in Western countries like the UK, USA, and Canada, often hidden within certain cultural communities.
- The imprisonment of Nina's father for trafficking his own child highlights the urgent need for awareness and action against human trafficking in all communities.
- Many victims of abuse and potential honor killings are afraid to speak out due to cultural pressures, shame, and fear, which enables the cycle of abuse to continue.
- There are ways we can all help combat these issues: trust your intuition if you suspect someone is in danger, ask simple questions to disrupt potential violent situations, make discreet calls to authorities if you're concerned about someone's safety, and support organizations working to end honor killings and forced marriages (like Nina's own End Honour Killings).
- And much more — be sure to check out part one of this conversation here if you haven’t already!

I'm also going to say I'm reading some of the comments on here and they're not necessarily constructive. I abhor censorship, but some of this is at best not helpful and at worst, nonsense.
Due to this, reinstating my CASA, COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES FOR CHILDREN in Jefferson Parish, LA, possible USA, insufficiently funded. We train to work with families and judges LISTEN to us because we must meet with the children every week. We are called as witnesses in every hearing. We are mandated by our oath and sanctioned by law that we can have private phone conversations at any time and Mandate in person time with them every single week. Prepare for testifying. Check it out.
