National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Honour Based Abuse

Today is National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Honour Based Abuse.

Honour Based Abuse can take many forms. How do you know if it’s happening to you? 

Have you been threatened or abused if you’ve tried to…   

  • have a relationship or marry someone outside your community or someone within your community that your family don't approve of 

  • separate or divorce 

  • talk to certain people 

  • have sex before marriage 

  • become pregnant or give birth outside of marriage 

  • wear clothes your family or community think are inappropriate 

  • use drugs or alcohol 

  • access higher education  

  • challenge what your family or community expect of you 

  • disagree with the religion of your family or community 

People who carry out honour-based abuse are often close family members but also extended family or community members.  

The Halo Project is a local charity which helps victims of honour-based abuse, domestic abuse, sexual violence, female genital mutilation and forced marriage. More information can be found here: 

https://www.haloproject.org.uk/ or call 01642 683 045. 

A full list of support agencies can be found on our website here: 

https://www.cleveland.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/honour-based-abuse/honour-based-abuse-support-organisations/ 

The Galop website is available to anyone LGBTQ+ who has suffered abuse: https://galop.org.uk/  

If you or someone you know is at risk of being forced into a marriage or harmed, contact the police so that they can be protected. Call Cleveland Police in a non-emergency, 24 hours a day on 101. If there is a crime in progress or a danger to life you should call 999.

If you're in danger, call 999 and try to speak to the operator if you can, even by whispering. You may also be asked to cough or tap the keys on your phone to answer questions. 

If you call 999 from a mobile and can’t speak or answer questions, press 55 when prompted and your call will be transferred to the police. Pressing 55 only works on mobiles and doesn't allow the police to track your location. If you don't press 55 your call will be ended.

If you would rather not speak to police, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
