Shame: A Story of Escape and Triumph
When Jasvinder Sanghera was just fourteen years old, she was shown a photo of the man chosen to be her husband. Terrified by the prospect, she knew she could not follow the same path her sisters had taken—enduring torment in their arranged marriages. Desperate to avoid this fate, she ran away from home, but was left grief-stricken when her parents disowned her.

Shame is a heart-wrenching and true story of a young girl’s courageous attempt to escape from a world where family honour weighed heavier than anything else—sometimes even more than life itself. In her journey, Jasvinder faces terrible oppression, struggling against a punishing code of honour, and experiences the harrowing consequences of defying tradition. But amid the pain and turmoil, she ultimately finds triumph over adversity.

This powerful narrative is not just about the painful challenges of living under a strict honour code; it is also about breaking free from it, finding one's own identity, and the strength to overcome the harshest of societal pressures. A moving and inspirational journey towards freedom, Shame shines a light on the often-hidden battles faced by young women in restrictive environments.
