Shafilea Ahmed was like most teenage girls growing up in the UK. She was determined and ambitious with a rebellious streak. She got good grades in school, wanted to wear the latest fashion, to have a boyfriend and to break free from her family home and live independently. The difference between Shafilea and most teenage girls is that she was born in to, and brought up around one culture, but, was expected to abide by the rules of another.
What would typically be seen as normal teenage behaviour was seen as shameful by her strict parents. Shafilea resisted her parents demands, she knew that she would be forced into an arranged marriage to an older cousin and wanted a different life for herself.
The shame her parents felt she brought on the family name was intense and this continuously took precedence over their daughter's well-being, happiness and ultimately, her life.
