The Girlfriends: Spotlight, E9: Jasvinder Redefines Honour

October 13, 2025 · 46 min

Show notes

When Jasvinder Sanghera was just 15 years old, her mum told her that she was going to be married to a man she had never met. Jasvinder’s older sisters had been through similar things. But instead of going along with the way things had always been in her family and community, Jasvinder escaped.

And then, she helped thousands of other women and girls to do the same.
