}} Jasvinder Sanghera, CBE (born September 1965)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = University of Derby )〕 is an outspoken campaigner and advocate for the rights of those experiencing forced marriages and honour based abuse. ==Biography== Jasvinder was born in Derby and her parents originate from India, the Punjab. She is the founder of Karma Nirvana established in her front room 1993. Karma Nirvana is now a national and international charity that has been instrumental in developing several refuge centres across the United Kingdom serve as safe-housing for South Asian men and women fleeing forced marriages. When faced with the prospect of a forced marriage herself, she ran away from home,〔 and she tells her story in her true story in ''Shame'', published by Hodder and Stoughton and those of other British victims in her second book, ''Daughters of Shame''. Both books have been translated into various languages including Japanese, Polish, Spanish. Sanghera's debut memoir, ''Shame'', is one where anecdotes are drawn from her own personal experiences where, when she was fourteen, was shown a photo of the man chosen to be her husband. She depicts a harrowing tale of violence, abuse and ostracism but ultimately, triumph over adversity. She appeared on ''The Jeremy Kyle Show'' in 2008 to discuss her experiences on the topic of forced marriages and she is now in her 40s, with three children, Natasha, Anna and Jordan. Prime Minister David Cameron is quoted as stating how Sanghera "turned his head on the issues of forced marriages" and due in great part to her campaigning and relentless lobbying of government to criminalise forced marriage, it was finally announced in the 2012 Queen's Speech to Parliament that Forced Marriage would become a specific criminal offence in England and Wales. To achieve this, the required amendment to the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act outlawing the offence received its Royal Assent on March 13, 2014 and is now law. Without the efforts of Sanghera and Karma Nirvana this landmark change in the law may well never have taken place. Sanghera has appeared on numerous television specials, such as the 2012 48 Hours special ''A Family's Honor'' about the 2009 honor murder of Iraqi American teenager Noor Almaleki (), and Sanghera appeared on ''Desert Island Discs'' on the UK's BBC Radio 4 on 24 March 2013. She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2013 Birthday Honours for services to victims of forced marriage and honour-based violence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jasvinder Sanghera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
