***TRIGGER WARNING***

The Parishti Project aims to find ways to bridge the gap between the East and West. Western laws and South Asian social structures misalign. Leading to terrible heartbreak and violence for Canadians who become victims of Honour-based violence, because they are not able to find the resources and help they need.

In 2007, Aqsa Parvez, a help-seeking young woman, was denied access to potentially life-saving services because she could not frame her story within the conventional definition of honour-based violence. She was killed by her family because she wanted an education, and a career instead of a marriage.

This talk will be led by Meena Deccan who knew she needed to devote her time and life to raising awareness about honour-based violence happening here in Canada.

Come and learn how to help yourself and how to help others.
