HARDtalk

Jasvinder Sanghera

Stephen Sackur talks to Jasvinder Sanghera, the founder of Karma Nirvana. How many women in Britain are being forced into marriages they do not want? How many face violence from within their own families for failing to conform to a so-called honour code? Jasvinder lifted the lid on one of the most sensitive issues in modern Britain. She ran away to escape an unwanted marriage, now she helps other women, and sometimes men, in desperate trouble. Is there a way of ending this hidden suffering?
