Oh Nina it's so hard to hear I can't imagine what it was like for you to live through all of that! Honestly it's a testimony to your strength of character as a human being that despite all the torture and abuse you endured from birth that now you present as a kind decent human and I wish I could be your friend! Please keep sharing your story because there's a young girl that maybe is on the bus on her way to or from school that will see your story and know that what she's enduring is not okay! I think you're beautiful and I'm so grateful you're alive!!!!❤️

As a woman of southeast asian descent, your story broke my heart because I relate to this abuse. Nina, I am so very sorry that you endured this - you deserve all the happiness and safety in the world. The cultural and religious abuse is one of the main reasons why I left India and moved to Australia on my own as a teenager. When I was growing up I remember leaving my body and thinking "not yet, it's not your time to go" to get through each traumatic event, the bride burnings, and the incessant death threats made to 10 and 8-year-old little girls (my sister and I) for years. Your kindness radiates through your entire being, I wish I could hug you and tell you that you are loved. Thank you so much for speaking out xx

@@MishMashOz271 Thats horrific. Right now in Afghanistan women are killing themselves because they cant go to school or work anymore. Iranian women are being arrested for not wearing hijab. All these stories of abuses but its rarely discussed in the mainstream or by the social justice advocates.

​@@tubester4567people shy away from these issues in fear of being perceived as "culturally insensitive" or racist which in itself is bonkers. No woman or girl should be treated as less than human. It should be unacceptable anywhere and everywhere.

Don't be ashamed. You seem like a genuine caring person❤

Don't be ashamed. It's not weakness it's human. Please remember that. Crying is apart of us yet somehow it's a crime. It shouldn't be that way. Normal human emotions should never be a sign of weakness or should be suppressed. Guys who say it isn't manly are cowards. You sir, are human and you should never apologize for your feelings, nor be ashamed of feeling empathy for someone. You are clearly a person with a heart of gold. That's rare nowadays! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I respect you immensely. No need for shame.

Wish all of us had a father like you I told my father that one of our family member is very in appropriate with me. He just nodded and went back to using his phone.

You’re lying” If any parent is reading this, I beg you to listen to your children when they say something vulnerable.

there is nothing to be ashamed A man who can feel a woman's pain And a woman who can respect a man are always to be respected

It really is. And it makes you think, wouldn't it feel more racist to them that the authorities and health workers don't look at it like a serious problem, because they believe it's 'not their business'?

Sadly, this is par for the course in many religious fundamentalist groups (read: cults). Horrifying.

If they were psychopaths they would not think of honor or shame. Truth is they all were healthy in this sense. Just too afraid of shame. They felt guilty, so tried to cover their asses at any cost. Children only fault is that they are, weaker in such families.women and children are to blame because they cant defend themselves. Being afraid is empathic trait, but its an egoism that turns this trait into raping and then killing your daughter.

@@eyennordic348in that case it makes them worse. if you are not born with apathy and still are that cruel and self serving, you’re a pretty abhorrent person. arguably, sociopaths/psychopaths DO still care about self image. psychopaths especially. that’s how they rise to the top. sociopaths are more likely not to care.

@@eyennordic348this is not psychopathy this is the consequence of letting misogyny take full control of a culture. All these ideologies are fully embedded in these people since birth. They genuinely believe what they're doing is righteous.

It's not one family though, it's literally the society upon which India was built. Women are just less and it's played out time and time again in regards to gang rapes of vacationers even.

​@@eyennordic348You're a mile off. Psychopaths experience jealousy, insecurity and pride. Their sense of "honour" is one of their biggest red buttons. If you think psychopaths don't experience feelings, you don't know what you're talking about. OP is on the money, these sound like violent psychopaths.

I thought the same thing, ironic that the most humanity was shown by an “animal”

That dog showed more humanity than the so-called humans in that house. Poor woman. I hope she’s thriving

@@CompUter-oo7er absolutely! That dog was more human than those monsters. I haven’t stopped thinking about this woman’s story and imagining how many others are going through this as we speak.

My heart goes out to this woman. How are people so horrible and evil allowed to carry on. Her treatment is unthinkable. A dog can literally save your emotional health and your heart if you are in terrible home life as child. Until I was allowed to have one I knocked on every neighbors door who had a dog as a little girl. I proved to them I could handle walking their large dogs and eventually it became expected that I'd be taking their dog for walks every day. We had the best moments of my life. We'd sit together, we'd go to abandoned buildings, eat lunch together by the creek, and they let you love on them as much as you want to. Finally I was given a small dog. She was the best thing to ever happen, but my mother came home one day and said we were getting rid of her. I pleaded, cried until I couldn't breathe, but we still drove to give her away. I remember her fur being soaked from my face as we got out of the car and I touched her. My hands couldn't let go of her. I will never forget sitting her down in the people's driveway and am suddenly unable to write this without crying at the memory of it. Now, decades later I try to get to know my mother in her older age, and we pretend to like each other more than we do, but I lost trust and feeling for her that I will never get back no matter how hard I try. Please if you have kids who are dedicated to taking care of things, and ONLY if you trust that they will give the utmost care to a pet, get them a rescue dog from a shelter or a dog rescue. If there is screaming and constant strife in the house though, please please don;t do it because it is painful for animals to live in domesticated, loud and stressful households and more than any creatures on earth; they deserve nothing but good because they are pure, and are angels. God Bless.

I wonder what happen to the dog 🐕?

I'm in awe. How one can be so cruelly treated throughout one's whole life ,& still be here to repeat the horror is astounding.

So, a pretty specific cultural issue your argument for why we all need feminism?! I think what those people need most of all are basic human rights. You certainly don't need feminism to value human life in all its forms.

@@srccdewhen femicide and abuse of women happens solely because they’re female, feminism is absolutely necessary. This doesn’t happen to boys on the basis of them being born male. And this isn’t a “very specific cultural issue,” this has happened and continues to happen around the world.

Votebank. The Sikhs are quite a population and also influential in UK and some other countries. What goes on in their homes can be exactly opposite of what they show to the world. Even in India, in the north-western part, where the sikhs reside along with a few other communities, the attitude towards women is pathetic. Decades ago, it was a place where rampant female infanticide was practiced until the government had to ban the practice of the determination of sex of a child by punishing any medical practitioner who did so. The killings have come down substantially but the sex ratio is still skewed in that part. Also, the general attitude towards women is just not good. So, education is low in that area with a vast majority of sikhs involved in farming. women get married early. There's less focus on their studies, goes without saying. There's a lot of focus on their looks. Skin colour is very important. They are mostly seen as wives who have to bear children. after a woman becomes older, she gains influence in the family. i would like to point out that there are many sikhs who are very educated and the exact opposite. But the rural culture is what I've described.

​@tinkerbelle5240 so they really want a population of only boys? Do they realize how stupid they are? They are practicing eugenics on themselves.

Instead getting help from the community….she is just going around blaming an entire culture, community and religion….as if we know the going’s on in a dysfunctional family. That’s the only thing I can say….she belonged to a dysfunctional family and needed to get help…

@@poisonkiss201this happened in the UK…. Did you even listen? How ignorant. This can happen anywhere. People and especially young girls are hurt and abused here in America everyday.

@@ciaa8387FYI… ppl can be arrested in the UK.

The way the police responded to her saying "it was an attempted honour killing" and how the police would assume it was a suicide anytime they came across a bride-burning says everything you need to know. At that time, religious and racial tensions were clearly affecting local law enforcement. Either they were under direction to stay out of it, prior legal rulings made it impossible to prosecute, or they feared retaliation. Altogether a disgusting failure.

@@ciaa8387 yes it happened in the uk but the family is indian ....they did not assimilate into british culture they brought their third world culture with them where it didnt belong

Did you find her? I think she'd welcome messages of support and love that she's never had.

That’s so true because honor killings happen in Europe still and no one ever talks about them but when it’s in the middle east or south Asia people it’s the only time people talk about

​@@Azaarvyes and they blame the religion as a muslim honour killing is totally prohibited and seeing people thinking that it's part of it is very sad

it's unfortunately the evil people and not the culture which cause this. If you have an evil person, you can't change him. I mean like how can a father (with friends) rape his own daughter? That's not a thing that belongs to any culture.

@@Azaarvpropel do talk about inter family killings in Europe. They are just harder to spot because the perpetrators are either in rural areas where no one will find out or more in tune with the rules of their country and how to not be caught. Plus it’s way less common. And WAY less boring. “Honor killing in UK” sounds interesting, “husband killed wife and daughter” is just another repeated news headline. There is a difference in magnitude and media attention.

This happens in those cultures, if the West can learn assimilate to tolerance,so can Middle Easterns.

My thoughts exactly!

She is not old either, it's not like this happened 100 years ago, this must be fairly recent? The authorities obviously do not interfere with the cultural garbage rules this family had. This must be stopped.

Yes, it's a misogynist culture, and lots of stupid people never question it.

Forget 100 years ago, this is probably happening right now as we speak to another poor soul. @christendenise220

It's sooo messed up how the British judicial system just takes a backseat and allows this because this is their "culture". It is inexcusable.

I only respect that which is kind and loving. But I don't respect any part of a culture or religion just because it is. There has to be a reason for respect to be shown. I am a Buddhist. The Buddha said never take anything at face value, even the Buddha's teaching itself. You have to examine it yourself.

This has absolutely nothing to do with religion but more so cultural this is very common in their culture.

This is so horrific and heartbreaking to hear what this lady Nina has had to endure, and no one should ever have to experience this. I have read many of the comments from the various talks given around this traumatic and difficult story, (which hopefully will encourage and inspire others who may suffer in silence to share and speak up.) However,It's important not to have a judgmental perspective that gives the distorted and negative bias that this happens purely because of cultural patterns of behaviour and differences and is therefore a common phenomenon within . It is important to remember and point out that there are deeply loving Punjabi and Sikh families (parents of Nina’s era), including subsequent generations, who adore their daughters, treat them with the utmost love and respect, and nurture them in a safe and happy family environment. Let’s not vilify all Punjabi, Sikh, and Asian families under the label that it is cultural appropriation to treat their girls or daughters with hate, contempt, or abuse. I have five sisters, one of whom was adopted by my parents. We were so fortunate and truly blessed to have parents who adored each of us, treated us with nothing but love and respect, educated us, and allowed us to form our own paths and identities in life, despite the challenges they had to face, pleasing the extended family and sometimes wider community in the process. Sadly, so much of this has to do with individual parents mindsets, personal morals, and perhaps unacceptable behaviour patterns learned from their own past and personal experiences as opposed to cultural. Abuse, whether it's sexual, physical, or emotional It is not mutually exclusive to the Indian and Asian cultures; ill treatment of children happens in all parts of society.

Well said totally agree with you

Look, i know someone who is indian, lives there, children are starving on the streets, govnt does nothing, nor for the elderly, blind or poor lepers. my friend vomited into a clean diaper due to the filth and stench on a bus, afterwards she saw street kids eating the grapes out of her vomit. @@amibedi1231

What's not usually talked about is in countries that hate on women, is how much worse or just as bad the child abuse in those countries are.

Why do not think whatever she is saying is true? She owns a vagina so she must be telling the truth right?

As much as I agree with the sentiment, it may only agitate them more and drive them insane to the point that they would do literally anything to ensure her death. Those kinds of parents are so warped by the sense of maintaining their reputation and image among their peers and other family that being humiliated further would likely drive them to do some vile stuff. They care far more about their “honor” than being a loving parent to their children.

that's islam for you

I agree. I'm Punjabi SIkh from Vancouver, Canada, and let me tell you, I'm truly disgusted by our community. Even if families don't do to their daughters to the magnitude that this woman's family did to her, but a majority of the community stays silent on the issue, and they too are part of the problem, because they feel disappointed at the birth of a girl child, think girls should act, dress a certain way, do what they are told, and so in my eyes, most people are part of the problem, that gives rise to shit families like this, who have the audacity to do what they did. This so called friend of this woman's who gave her the advice to go back home was so wrong. Why would you want to go back to a place where your father and all his friends raped you. I thought my family was bad, my parents are just plain toxic in terms of mental and emotional abuse, but I endured nothing like this to this magnitude, actually I had it much better after I got married and moved to the United States, and after I left one night my dad almost ended up killing my sister because she had to work late, and he thought she was out slutting around, and my parents the next day said, oh it was nothing. Like fuck this shit. I wish I could have 5 minutes with this piece of shit father and her brothers, and still them in a room with big military guys and lets see how fucking tough they are then. I've heard so many stories like this, it's disgusting. Glad I distanced and disassociated myself the the community.

I cried throughout the video too. It’s beyond heartbreaking how your own family can break your spirit like this. Except for the rape and breaking of bones, I suffered a lot like this woman by my family. My mother was the same kind of angry abusive lunatic. And my dad a violent drunk. My school removed me from home when I was 17 and they always told me the same thing, “so many women don’t make it out alive.” I consider myself lucky. But the emotional pain this experience leaves you with is unlike any other. My only two options in life were 1. Live without a family and be completely on your own. 2. Be seriously abused by your parents and brother because you’re a girl. I chose the first one. This is the first time I’ve heard a story that’s much much worse than mine. And mine is pretty evil.

I hope you know you are with so much more, you deserve love, you deserve respect ❤

I'm shocked beyond belief. To think that this had happened and continue to happen is something I find reprehensible. I will only advise that she cuts all connections with all those who made her suffer. She should live her life and face everything with the courage, confidence and determination that is needed. I salute her for speaking out. I am surprised that a country like England would not take cognizance of such behavior in a community.

Bad parents..!

Listening to her horrific story makes me feel like mine, I should never feel sorry, never hurt for myself and never be so dramatic when I have flash backs or dreams of...

You should vote for Trump and keep Muslim Men out of the US.

so true.

I feel the same 😢

same

LOL... who are you trying to kid? You were PROBABLY ALWAYS A RACIST to begin with! 🤣😂😆😎

I can't believe the school never reported on this even tho she never had lunch to school and at some point I assume visible bite marks

Its not the culture, its about individual. Their are bad people in all culture. Dont corrupt your narrative about this culture. Punjabis in India are the most beloving parents.

Sure

If that’s what you got out of this m you’re part of the problem

Very well said! No more hiding behind "culture." Like she said, culture is music, arts, theater, beauty...this is abuse.

This is a Bjp-rss culture.

Aren't Sikhs indian too?

@@PittheadX this is any culture that is regressive and people who are uneducated. So, be it Muslims, Sikhs or Hindus. And those BJP RSS will also be included in it who believe, propagate and practice this. But not every BJP person does things like this

@@SafavidAfsharid3197 all Sikhs aren't Indians. Sikhs live all over the world

And that darling dog was the only soul who loved her unconditionally!! Imagine how traumatised her poor dog is after that 😢

That dog was a person, her parents were not

her parents were the animals in this case

Dogs accept you no matter what. My dog is my best friend

I'm sure that dog was the only pure soul in that house who showed her love and saw her as more than an object.

They wouldn’t care, they see the outsiders as shameful people anyway

We dont even see them as people

Narcissists don't care about things like that. (Their old traditional "cultural" ways were built on narcissism - yeah, I said it)

I hope they know they should be in prison. If anyone watching this knows who they are, that might be the safest place for them.

@@elifnazsinav312 well then why the hell did they move to the UK? Don’t tell me. I know exactly why. They want the safe and prosperous society that reasonable people are capable of architecting, but don’t want to let go of the very practices that ruined their own. Absolute hypocrites. I hope they’re citizens, because, if not, they should be deported to the country and culture they see as so very superior. It is also an offence to all those immigrants who retain the beauty of their culture, whilst still respecting and embracing the one that welcomed them. And are useful and loved additions, instead of barnacles like this poor woman’s family. I am an immigrant. I can say this without any malice toward most of us. I know what culture adjustment is like, and I know it’s natural to balk against some unexpected realities you face in your host country. But this? Absolutely unacceptable.

♥

❤😢

She’s truly amazing. God bless her. 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️

Don't forget the police failed her and so did the hospital as well

Imagine her bullies listening to this story

Absolutely 😭

It sort of confuses me how you're more outraged by ignorant children bullying her than her own family beating and raping her. They're just not even in the same league.

​@@harrydavey9884 that's not what that comment said. You are adding to it.

Sharing the story more and more helps her to integrate and heal. It's good for you to share your story in a safe place.

she must have relived it a hundred of times when she would close her eyes, cross that house, hear news about her family members or pass those streets.

SWEETIE YOU HAD MR AND MRS DEVIL FOR PARENTS 👿👿👿

INLAW DEVIL 👿👿 TOO YOU LIVING IN HELL😳😳😳

Watch ‘girl in the river’.. because THOUSANDS OF GIRLS ARE KILLED BY THEIR OWN FATHERS AND ITS A SICK CULTURE.. SICK..

YES! I hope the rest of her life is peaceful and she finds a safe place to heal and live her best life. She's suffered long enough at the hands of monsters.

She should get them arrested. Why forgive? That's not something to be forgiven even if it was part of the culture. Bringing them to justice will lead to a positive change and will be helpful to many others in the future. But I don't blame her if she doesn't want to fight on her own. She might be so tired and seeking some peace in life. Some Humans rights organisation or activists must fight on her behalf.

​@@redheadredemption3hey she still says it's her culture, have fun in your culture.

@@VolodymyrTheJewishClown "Nobody gets away with attempted murder". They do get away, and more than you think. Stop denying that.

@@VolodymyrTheJewishClown Muslims are untouchable in EU f.e.x pakistani r@pe gang went on for decades with police and everyone else knowing... People are being stabbed, robbed, beaten with police doing nothing if the perpetrator is muslim. For victims of honor violence there is no safe place - their community is violating them and police won´t help frequently. It´s insane.

I watch a ton of true crime, but this is literally the list horrific thing I’ve ever seen/heard about. Ted Bundy has NOTHING on this poor woman’s family.

@@Paul94096i think the thing is Ted Bundy was a lone ranger…… and he clearly had mental issues…. This is an entire family!! Living life ‘normal’ and thinking this behaviour is ok. It is sickening to get your head around isn’t it!

Honestly.

There is no point of that honor killing. Those families had no honor to protect. The truth of the matter is that they didn't want their secrets getting out.

There are worse stories that are just as common as this one. In the Asian and African worlds, many parts of their cultures still allow this kind of abuse. I worked with women who had their genitals cut when they were 12 or so, the reasoning is they will remain virgins and respect their husbands because they can't feel sexual feelings. This woman's family is everywhere. Many people who practice as she reports live in Europe, especially England, and here in western US. Women are still burned to death, and in Saudi Arabia, stoned (I've been to the stoning circle) to death.

To have slaves.

China has this exact problem

Not seen as people.

​@@KoshPilotbecause they are a population of idiots who discard women who are either divorced or have not been married by 30ish. Nothing good about their current culture... I have friends who were professional expats in china and they said as a group they're absolutely animals. Now their ancient culture, thats a different story as they did great things.

It happens in India every single day. Baby girls are unwanted and disappear…exactly how she described it.

It’s Nina please know I’m now living a life of purpose serving others via my non profit and working hard to change laws to protect other innocent victims 🙏🏼

Yes, amen to this! ✊

Jail!! Extradition.... im portuguese! I lived 7 yeras in london... and 2 years a a sik house they was cool.. police should go after her family... her voice is very important... for teachers and people from outside looking after clues on young girls...

Yet, she never pressed charges. They were never brought to justice. They and their culture will continue to perpetuate this. Because they were never punished.

@@yeseniah7373 It's so frustrating.

@@yeseniah7373 The laws need to change so that one doesn't NEED to press charges for assault.

Only 1.6 billion to go..

This show you have a choice to break the cycle and you can come out stronger than ever.

Most women that go through things like that are softer and more sweet. That's why it often happens to them repeatedly. Like, people who were physically and sexually abused as children end up experiencing the same as adults because abusers can spot them from a mile away. They're passive and softer and don't see red flags. It's hard to break the cycle.

I've listened to her before powerful speaker,..what really gets me angry is knowing that millions of girls are going through exactly what she is and it's somehow been normalised by a society because a bat sh!t crazy religious belief system that treats women/girls,like personal property,I cannot for the life of me,understand why we do trade with countrys like this,..I hear the argument that we can show them another side to life by trading with them,but i feel we are giving them legitimacy in their eyes,.I think that's the wrong approach,..Ending apartheid only worked because the whole world stood firm against an idea that divided people by race and once everybody was on border with that process of not working with that government in anyway,..it fell,they could no longer justify their political decision of government or feel thst they were somehow being accepted in anyway whatsoever,...invading country's and trying to impose our standards of humanity might seem the right way to go but these peoole still have their pride and ot must come from within and be forced into thst way of thinking as the world turns its back on them,...all we do is get country's to double down on their backward ideology and they have the money to do this,thanks to the trade we still do with them...country's I would not do business with.. Saudi Arabia Pakistan, China Qatar Iran Would be a good way to start and thst eould put other country's on notice obviously it would work better one country at a time and I would start with Pakistan.. There hatred towards Christians in Pakistan is horrendous and without trade they would collapse within months,we would demand fundermental changes gender equality, religious freedom,property rights protection,a new consitution and they would be helped financially with infrastructure projects and increased trade.....it could work but do we have the will...?

Sadly very little can be done by teachers. The abused kiddos go home and to their abusers. Even when child protective services are involved, the abuse continues. Just what happened to poor Gabriel Fernandez. 💔

This is why sex education is so important in schools

It should be a curriculum class all the way up into junior high school.

To think people have been conditioned to be so petrified of being labelled a 'racist' we're willing to turn a complete blind eye to an inhumane situation...is it worth it?

As a nurse student that hurted me too and I was searching this kind of comment, Bless you Alexa and thank you for speaking own our behalf❤

You don't need to speak on behalf of all nurses even though you may feel obligated to. We appreciate your hard work.

Yes, and they are walking in UK

@@nataliamunatay4710 😠 inhumane,

They are not people, they are monsters

Yes it’s their privilege. Religious privilege is what those swine try to pass it off as.

@@nataliamunatay4710this is normal in India I heard

its actually tribal behaviour and its prevalent in the middle east and asia.

As an Indian myself I absolutely despise any mention of tradition or culture whenever it comes up. Luckily I belong to a part of India where women enjoy a higher degree of autonomy than other ethnicities.

@@kikisan6328all of India is messed up.

Yes

​@@kikisan6328northeast?

Lucky to be alive. Strong will power to survive.

I agree, can't imagine being able to want to live after what happened to her.

If you don’t have a desire to live, why are you still here?

o Allah, destroy these oppressors with a destruction never seen before and annihilate them o Allah for the abuse they have done to your creation. dear Allah, respond

@@mylordtakemeaway here to response, chose your own path. Stop believing in an all seeing god..
