Since the first National lockdown, the National Honour Based Abuse helpline run by Karma Nirvana has seen an increase in contacts by 87%.

As part of our commitment to ‘Shine the Spotlight’ on Honour Based Abuse, Karma Nirvana are delivering a series of FREE Roadshows across Wales to improve knowledge and responses to Honour Based Abuse. The Roadshows kick-start in January up to March 2021.

The Roadshows will enable learners to:

Understand and identify Honour Based Abuse,
Manage and safely respond to disclosures of HBA,
Identify potential risk indicators in cases of HBA,
Provide ‘safer multi-agency spaces’ for victims and survivors to speak, and
Broadened ‘safe spaces’ for victims and survivors to make disclosures.

The roadshows will cover:

Defining Honour Based Abuse
Prevalence, data and statistics
Key drivers and motives
Barriers and impact on victims and survivors
Best practice guidance
Relevant law and policy relating to Honour Based Abuse
Safety planning, considering practical and legislative measures

Each workshop will benefit from hearing from one of our couragous Survivor Ambassadors.

Once registered a training link will be sent a week before the event with pre-reading materials. For delegates attending the course there will be no sign up required to the training platform.
