About this archive: older broadcast recordings are retained because they document Freedom Charity’s public work. A date is shown only where it has been verified from a broadcaster, original upload or contemporaneous archive record. Where an exact date has not been verified, the card identifies the broadcaster and topic without inventing one.
For background, use Freedom Charity’s primary pages on forced marriage, FGM, Dishonour Abuse/HBA and virginity testing and hymenoplasty. For Aneeta Prem MBE’s wider dated public record, see aneeta.com.
