Paperback. Condizione: Good. Bekhal Mahmod was one of six siblings from a Sunni Muslim family in Iraqi Kurdistan who sought a new life as asylum seekers and arrived in London in 1998. When Bekhal's father tried to force her into an arranged marriage at 15, she ran away. This caused her father to 'lose respect' within the Kurdish community and Bekhal became the target of an honour killing and her younger sisters Banaz and Payzee were quickly married off to restore the family's reputation. When Banaz left her husband, claiming he'd beaten and raped her, Mahmod decided this 'shame' to the family meant Banaz must die. Within weeks, she had vanished. Her body was later found in a suitcase, buried in a garden in Birmingham. Banaz had been raped and killed in a sickening plot orchestrated by her father and uncle. Bekhal Mahmod became the first female in British legal history to give evidence against family members in an honour killing trial, and won justice for Banaz.

A senior pastor, family pastor, children's pastor and church board will want to use this book as an excellent resource. This manual does not give legal counsel or advice; however, it is imperative that local church leaders do everything possible to provide a safe and secure ministry environment for both students and volunteers. Includes sample forms and reproducible worksheets and leader's guides. The issue of physical and sexual abuse seems completely out of context for the church setting and ministry environment. Sadly, however, the church has not been exempt from such concerns. In fact, the abuse issue has become a major concern in our society- one that church leaders must not ignore.
