Fighting forced marriages and honour based abuse, Jasvinder Sanghera

Jasvinder founded the charity 'Karma Nirvana' in 1993, helping to establish refuge centres for those fleeing forced marriages. The video provides a unique insight into the impact of forced marriage on individuals and the challenges faced when seeking to address this problem in communities.
