1) This week there was a widely publicised case of an Asian girl going missing. We don't know full details yet.
2) Some say she was trying to escape family abuse over having a black boyfriend.
3) Family 'honour-based abuse' is a real issue.
It is run by grifters and should not be near vulnerable women.
6) Many Asian women who work on honour-based violence have raised red flags in past about how these appeals are done.
This is not an uncommon problem in our communities
8) Many Sikh groups (not just SYUK) have stoked up paranoia about "those men grooming our girls" - for years. This is fallout
Patriarchy and sexism in our communities is so bad that people would rather listen to and fund groups run by Asian men on how to 'protect women' - than listen to women directly.
But next time there is such an appeal on social media please think twice.
