About us

We are Savera UK and we will end 'honour'-based abuse and harmful practices. 

Savera UK is one of the leading charities working to end ‘honour’-based abuse (HBA) and harmful practices, including forced marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), virginity testing and breast ironing. 

It campaigns to eliminate HBA and harmful practices and provides life-saving services including safeguarding and advocacy for those at risk, regardless of age, culture, sexuality or gender. ‘Savera’ means ‘new beginning’ in Hindi, a theme that is symbolic of the support the charity provides to those who are at risk of HBA and harmful practices.
