As we honour and remember Henna Arshad, who tragically departed this world at a tender age of six, we delve into the depths of our hearts, seeking solace and strength in unity. The tale of her brief sojourn in our world, sadly marred by an inconceivable event, leaves an indelible imprint on our hearts.
Henna was born in the year 2000, an innocent soul who opened her eyes to the small town of Cheadle Hulme, Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. Her laughter filled the halls of her school, Acacias primary school and Cavendish Road primary in West Didsbury. The camaraderie she shared with her brothers, Abbas and Adam, was a sight to behold, and their joy radiated, igniting smiles and warmth in everyone around them.
But in an unfortunate twist of fate, their lives were brutally snuffed out on July 28, 2006. In an act of unfathomable violence, they were bludgeoned to death at the hands of their father, Rahan Arshad, in their own home, in a devastating incident infamously referred to as an "honour killing". It was an act of monstrous brutality, the shockwaves of which were felt throughout the nation and beyond.
A father's duty is to protect and provide, yet in an unjust twist of fate, Henna's father betrayed this sacred trust in the most horrendous manner. In an incomprehensible act of violence, he robbed Henna of her innocence and her life, and subsequently fled, leaving a wake of pain and loss behind.
The memory of Henna, her mother, Uzma, and her brothers is etched in our hearts. Despite the horrific circumstances of their demise, we remember Henna as a beacon of innocence and joy. We remember her laughter, her kindness, her spirit that was unjustly stifled but will forever remain alive in our memories.
In paying tribute to Henna, we must also honour her mother, Uzma. Despite the harrowing conditions of her marriage, Uzma showed exceptional bravery. She was a woman of strength and perseverance, who feared for her life yet held onto hope until her last breath. Her resilience and courage are a testament to her spirit, a spirit we remember and honour today.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the surviving family members. Their pain and loss are unimaginable, and we stand with them in this time of grief. It is a grim reminder of the lurking shadows of domestic violence, and a call to action for each of us to stand against it in all its forms.
Today, we remember Henna Arshad, a light extinguished too soon, a young life filled with untapped potential, cruelly taken from this world. As we mourn her loss, let us also commit to upholding the memory of her innocence and ensuring that such horrific acts of violence do not go unnoticed and unpunished.
In her memory, we fight for a world where no child lives in fear within their own homes, where no woman is silenced, where honour killing is not just a term relegated to headlines but a societal evil uprooted from its core.
Rest in peace, dear Henna. Your memory serves as a beacon of change, igniting a flame of justice and awareness in our hearts.
