I interviewed the extraordinary @payzee.bsky.social, a survivor of child marriage and 'honour-based' abuse, for Service95. Her sister Banaz was murdered in an 'honour' killing in 2006. Payzee now works to protect other women from the suffering she and Banaz endured. www.service95.com/payzee-mahmo...

The brilliant Waad Al-Kateab speaking last night before the screening of Death Without Mercy - her harrowing new film on the devastating Turkey-Syria earthquake. Almost 2 years since & still no accountability, no justice for those who lost loved ones. Thanks @actionaiduk.bsky.social for the invite

Back from Sri Lanka after a week of reporting on landmine clearance 15 years after the end of the civil war. I interviewed some incredible people in the north east, including those working to make the country landmine free & landmine victims, like Victoria below with her family. Story coming soon 📝
