Bekhal Mahmod

Bekhal Mahmod is a British-Kurdish woman and author who courageously spoke out against the honour killing of her sister Banaz Mahmod in London in 2006. No Safe Place is her devastating memoir about growing up in a family where violence was normalised, losing her sister to a so-called honour killing, and her fight for justice and survival. Bekhal's testimony was instrumental in convicting her sister's killers. Her audiobook and book is a brave, essential piece of listening and reading for anyone who wants to understand the reality of honour-based violence and the extraordinary courage of those who speak out.
