Ishara has been working with Deaf BME people on the sensitive issue of honour based violence.  An important outcome identified from the work is a need to have information about honour based violence translated into British Sign Language (BSL). 

Under our Resource Development programme we have worked in partnership with Shakti Women’s Aid to make this resource happen in Scotland.  Please note that this resource is mainly guidance communites in Scotland. You can now access the webpage at the Deaf Connections on the following link:

We hope that you find this resource useful and can pass this on to other contacts. We also look forward to any feedback about this webpage which can be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
