Campaigns

A wise man once said that the best time to influence the life chances of a child is about one hundred years before it is born. And that’s what we say too.

The NEXT GENERATION schools campaign, what’s the big idea?

At Karma Nirvana, we’re serious about saving the next generation from the cycle of forced marriage and honour-based violence.

Our campaign has four goals:

• greater personal accountability from teaching professionals who fail to investigate ‘disappearances’ from the school register, which could result in head teachers being removed from their post if they fail to investigate cases of missing children.
• a poster campaign rolled out to all UK secondary schools, starting with those in areas of highest risk
• one PSHE assembly dedicated to the subject of forced marriage/honour-based violence for every UK pupil under the age of 16. If a pupil misses this due to absence, he/she should receive information personally.
• a trained honour violence specialist to be made available to every at-risk pupil, 2 on hand in every school.

Defeating the scandal of forced marriage and honour-based violence is one of the most serious and urgent moral challenges the UK faces today.

Don’t let it happen to the next generation of children. Stop what you’re doing, click here and sign our schools petition. It will cost nothing more than a minute of your time – and it could make the difference between life and death for a child victim of abuse.

And help us take this message to every single person in the UK:Ca

It’s not culture; it’s abuse.
