Halo Project

A significant milestone in the fight against Honour-Based Abuse.

On Friday, our CEO, Yasmin Khan, attended and helped launch the new Midlands and North East Partnership Network at a celebration event marking the introduction of the new statutory definition of Honour-Based Abuse.

The collaboration between Halo Project and Roshni has been built over many years. Together, we have shared expertise, supported one another through challenges, contributed evidence to national inquiries, and worked alongside survivors and partners to push for meaningful change.

This new partnership formalises that longstanding relationship, creating an even stronger platform for collaboration, learning, advocacy, and collective action across regions.

The event celebrated a landmark achievement for the sector: the introduction of a statutory definition of Honour-Based Abuse. This progress reflects years of campaigning, advocacy, and determination from survivors, specialist organisations, activists, and allies who refused to let this issue remain hidden.

The theme of the day was "Through The Door" - a reminder that together, we got the definition through the door.

While there is still much work ahead, this moment represents an important step towards greater recognition, stronger safeguarding, and better outcomes for victims and survivors of Honour-Based Abuse.

Thank you to Roshni and all the organisations, survivors, and campaigners who have helped make this change possible.

An incredible day for our residential 👏
