📢 Jury delivers guilty verdict convicting Ravi Yadav of raping his wife Gurwinder Kaur in historic ruling.

Gurwinder, an SBS service user, passed away before the trial. We honour her legacy & urge reforms to safeguard marginalised victim-survivors. 1/22

southallblacksisters.org.uk/news/histori...
“While Gurwinder’s life was marked by extraordinary resilience in the face of relentless abuse, her legacy is one of courage and hope. Her decision to speak out, despite the risks, sends a powerful message to other women trapped in silence. We wish to acknowledge Pinder Kaur and Dr Kulwant Singh, who offered invaluable care to Gurwinder in her final months. Their compassion and leadership—alongside SBS—continue to challenge harmful community norms and demand accountability. This conviction must serve as a turning point. SBS calls for urgent reforms to better protect women—especially those facing multiple barriers due to race, religion, class, caste, disabilities, and immigration status. No woman should ever have to die for her truth to be believed.” - Shakila Taranum Maan, Head of Legal Services & Community Engagement, Southall Black Sisters Quoted text in black against red with a backdrop of a demonstration with the slogan ‘Stop forcing women to stay in violent relationships’.
