What Hurts Your Heart & Moves You to Act? | Arifa Nasim
Arifa talks about her incredible journey from the Headteacher's office to the UN General Assembly as she was moved to act after reading Jasvinder Sanghera’s book, 'Daughters of Shame.' She has been campaigning against honor-based abuse in all of its forms since she was 14 years old.
Arifa Nasim founded Educate2Eradicate, a non-profit organization committed to spreading knowledge to prevent the hundreds of thousands of individuals at risk from experiencing forced marriage, genital mutilation, and honor-based abuse. To date, Arifa has educated more than 5,000 individuals and plans to grow Educate2Eradicate into a holistic program, training larger organizations and offering counseling and legal advice to victims. Arifa was an official UK delegate to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Summit.
Recorded at the Festival of Hope Wales on 2nd December 2022 at UWC Atlantic College, St Donats, Wales.
