Good evening and welcome to our event.

I am Akilah khaliq and we are the AGAINST KILLING’S team; we are here in Manchester to argue for the women in this society.

Join now!

The team’s uniform says on them ‘there is no honour in honour killings.’ We believe in this so strongly that we decided to specially make these uniforms exactly for the purpose of honour killings for the Manchester ladies.

We know that there are many different problems that women go through but right now because this particular problem involves killing young teenagers, we have to take action fast if no one else is prepared to do it. We are not just helping families that have had their women killed for stupid idiotic reasons such as, the daughter of ...
