Now, Fawziyah's story has inspired measures to crack down on honour-based abuse, including its own legal definition.
Honour-based abuse (HBA) is motivated by the perception that a person has brought shame to themselves, their family, or the community.
Fawziyah Javed, who was from Pudsey, and her unborn child died after she was pushed from Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh, in September 2021.
The measures have been backed by specialist organisations targeting honour-based abuse.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “All forms of honour-based abuse are devastating crimes that can shatter lives.
