The impact of honour-based abuse (HBA) on victims can be detrimental and life-changing. The coercive control underpinning this abuse, based on acceptable and unacceptable behaviours, can become embedded in the victim’s day-to-day experiences, choices and personal identity. Awareness of HBA has begun to improve in recent years. However, it is unclear whether changes to policy on HBA have been effective. There is still a concerning gap in practitioners’ understanding of HBA and their ability to effectively identify, respond to and support victims. Here Jessica Hull and I explore why HBA must become a priority in research and policy and think about what needs to be done to better support victims of this abuse.
In our latest blog, Senior Analyst Jessica Hull and Analyst Sarah Hibbert take a deep-dive into honour-based abuse and consider what more can be done to protect victims 👇 https://lnkd.in/eWcmQdgB
