Raising Awareness in North Yorkshire.

We were pleased to deliver a raising awareness session at an Army base in North Yorkshire, bringing together professionals both in person and online.

Around 30–40 delegates attended in person, with more than 100 joining virtually.

During the session, we explored:

💜 The work and support provided by The Halo Project
🔗 Our referral pathway and how professionals can access support
⚠️ Themes relating to illegal cultural harms
🔎 Recognising risk and understanding how cultural harms can affect victims and survivors
📚 A particular focus on Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM)

Sessions like this are an important part of improving professional understanding and helping people recognise when specialist support may be needed.

Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions and engaged with the session.

Awareness leads to better understanding. Better understanding can lead to safer responses.

If your organisation would like to arrange a training or awareness session with us, get in touch with our team.

A little appreciation post for the people behind Halo. 💜

Our work can be serious, challenging and emotional but there are plenty of moments of laughter, connection and joy too.

From team coffees to events, training days, community work and the inevitable "I've just had an idea..." conversations...

It's the people who make Halo what it is.

What happens when a death is never recognised for what came before it?

The full story can disappear.

A woman may have experienced years of coercive control, threats, isolation, intimidation or other forms of honour-based abuse, yet the abuse may not be recognised when her death is recorded.

That matters.

Because without recognition, patterns remain hidden. Opportunities to learn are lost. And future victims may remain at risk.

The Say Her Name campaign is calling for change so that honour-based abuse-related su***des are properly recognised, investigated and understood.

This isn't about reducing a woman's life to how she died.

It's about recognising the circumstances that shaped her life, and making sure those circumstances are not ignored.

Say Her Name. Change the Law. Deliver Justice.

"Why don't they just leave?"

It's a question we need to stop asking without understanding what leaving actually means for someone experiencing honour-based abuse.

For some survivors, leaving one abusive person can mean facing pressure, threats, isolation or potential harm from multiple people.

They may be financially dependent on others. They may have been isolated from friends and support networks. They may fear what will happen to them - or someone they love - if they speak out.

That's why a survivor's situation needs to be understood before we make assumptions about what they should do.

Our response should be:

💜 Listen
💜 Believe
💜 Don't judge
💜 Don't pressure
💜 Connect them with specialist support

Understanding the barriers can help us respond more safely and effectively.

Honour-based abuse is abuse. There is never an excuse for it.

Okay, let's see which team member you are! 💜

There's always that person in a team.

The coffee-dependent one. ☕
The spreadsheet lover. 📋
The person who has 17 new ideas before lunch. 💡

Which one are you?

What if we asked a different question?

When a woman dies by su***de following honour-based abuse, we need to look beyond the final moment and ask what happened before it.

- Was she experiencing coercive control?
- Was she being threatened or isolated?
- Was she living in fear?
- Did anyone recognise the abuse she was experiencing?

Honour-based abuse can remain hidden when warning signs are missed or when a victim's experience isn't understood within the wider context of abuse.

That's why the campaign is calling for change.

- We need better recognition.
- We need better investigations.
- We need better recording of honour-based abuse motivations.

And we need a legal framework that reflects the reality of sustained abuse and its consequences.

These women must not become invisible within the statistics.

Say Her Name. Change the Law. Deliver Justice.

New Support for Our Survivors 🙌

We’re pleased to share that we have received free SIM cards to provide to survivors who have recently fled domestic abuse or are moving into our refuge.

For someone leaving an abusive situation, having a safe and reliable way to communicate can be an important step towards rebuilding their independence.

A new SIM card can give survivors a safe way to:

- Stay connected with family and friends
- Contact support services
- Access emergency services
- Manage essential appointments and services
- Communicate without relying on a number that may be known to or monitored by a perpetrator

Leaving an abusive relationship can also bring significant financial pressures. Providing a free SIM card removes one small but meaningful financial barrier at a time when survivors are already facing huge changes.

We're grateful to have this practical resource available to support the survivors we work with. 💜

When we hear the word “su***de,” it’s easy to focus only on the final outcome.

But for some women, that outcome is preceded by years of honour-based abuse, coercive control, isolation, threats, and fear.

The Say Her Name campaign exists because these experiences are too often overlooked.

By recognising the role that honour-based abuse can play, we can improve understanding, strengthen safeguarding, and work towards preventing future deaths.

This campaign is about making sure victims are not reduced to a statistic or a single word. It’s about recognising the full picture and ensuring every life is valued.

Together, we can help create a future where every victim is seen, every story is heard, and every life matters.

Self-care looks different for everyone.

When we think about self-care, we often picture spa days, long walks, or switching off with a good book. But for someone experiencing abuse, self-care can look very different.

It might be:

💜 Asking for help for the first time.
💜 Setting a boundary.
💜 Attending a support session.
💜 Taking one step towards safety.
💜 Simply getting through the day.

Healing isn’t a straight line, and there is no right or wrong way to move forward. Every small step deserves to be recognised.

This National Wellness Month, we’re reminding anyone who is struggling that your wellbeing matters. Be kind to yourself, celebrate your progress, and remember that reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

If you or someone you know needs specialist support, Halo Project is here to listen.
