2

Knowsley residents are invited to join a march to end honour-based abuse and harmful practices which takes place in Liverpool City Centre on Saturday 23 November 2024, 12pm-2pm.

Savera UK is a charity working to end 'honour'-based abuse (HBA) and all harmful practices, through direct interventions and safeguarding, advocacy, education, engagement, awareness-raising and campaigning for policy, attitude and behaviour change.

This is the third year Savera UK - alongside its partners Zonta UK - have marched through Liverpool to raise awareness of the issues of 'honour'-based abuse and harmful practices like FGM, forced marriage, virginity testing and conversion 'therapy'.

Savera UK is asking residents to join the march to help highlight these 'hidden' practices, which are human rights violations, and help to break the silence around them.

Speakers will include Merseyside PCC, Emily Spurrell, Kim Johnson MP, Afrah Qassim, Savera UK Founder and CEO and Dianne Jeans from Zonta UK.

Attendees will also be joined by Katumba Drumming and Movement, Wavertree Community Gospel Choir and members of Savera UK Youth who will be delivering some uplifting performances for us as well.
