Nina Aouilk : '' Surviving Honour Killing , Physical Abuse & Forced Marriage '' | PODGHOST | EP.32 

Remarkable woman with so much courage and determination!! I am grateful that I had the opportunity to interview Nina on my Podcast last year!! She is doing amazing things for Domestic Violence Survivors! Very deep and emotional interview!

As a mother I simply cannot imagine how someone could do this to their child. Makes me sick to my stomach! Such a brave women ❤

How many times does it takes to recount something so vile and horrendous, before you feel just a bit better, I wonder... I am in awe witnessing your graceful and unspeakable brave recollection, Nina. You are ten thousand time stronger than all your abusers put together and it shows. You can speak up and be proud of what you achieved, your abusers have to take the cover of darkness and secrecy, because deep inside they know it is wrong what they did to you... Thank you for sharing your story, Nina❤

Resilience is a small word to describe this woman !

Well done to these two Punjabi guys giving this woman a voice. Very honourable decision by them.

Absolutely hard to hear hardest podcast. No one should have to go through this disgusting vile abuse these men/ families need to be punished and made example of. I can’t believe what this lady had to go through all her childhood no child should have to go through this. I am so proud of this lady how she has come out the other end and how strong she is. So well spoken and every word of hers touches deep. May she continue doing the fantastic work she is doing and stays strong and continues voicing for many vulnerable people. ❤❤❤

I worked in the domestic violence field for over 20 years and I’ve never heard such a horrendous story. She is an inspiration. Much love to Nina and her children.

This was heartbreaking to watch!! So proud of her for speaking. So brave. may God showers his blessings on her

I pray for your healing dear child. I pray for justice too. You've suffered and survived so much dear god.

They really need to make a movie out of this woman . this is really important to shed a light on this big problem that is not uncommon in Asia. So many woman go through this there.

Every interview she does i make time to watch which is hard as a mother of 3 young kids! The story is heartbreaking she is so strong so resilient.

what an incredible woman. i just feel broken listening to this, how can someone do this to their own daughter!? the people who abused her and were complict deserve LIFE in jail.

I just want to give her a big hug 🥹❤️ such a courageous woman!

I watched Nina’s video on Snapchat, which took me to Nina’s instagram and then I found this video. I had nothing but tears the entire time. Nina you are an inspiration for so many and the work that you are doing is invaluable. Your story will help so many people who need that one sign, that one kind word. I pray you continue to turn your trauma into triumph and wish you nothing but healing. I pray Allah swt showers you with His peace, love and comfort. From one Asian sister to another❤️

So heartbreaking to hear Nina's horrendous story and it must be so painful for her to repeat her story over and over again. I feel the deepest sadness for her and wish for her much love and happiness ❤❤❤

Remarkable women! In sha allah everyone in her position gets to witness light at the end ❤

I m Punjabi and I have 2 daughters, me and husband both are so happy and feel blessed 🙏🥲 I have watched this lady podcast on other channel and It was painful tearful 😢

I’m so inspired by her, Mrs Aouilk you’re so strong and a survivor. Thank you for having the strength to speak up.

Both parents should be ashamed and held accountable. Disgusting behaviour to those sending threats to Nina. She's an inspiration. She was beaten down and abused but has come out fighting. She's a living example of what doesn't kill will make you stronger. Turn this women's life into a film. Stay strong Nina❤

very sad,...and when she cries,i hope there is someone who can hug her and make her feel safe, loved seen and heard.

Im amazed by her courage and ability to keep going. Makes me realise how lucky i was to have my parents

I watched this for the first time last night and I cried. My own childhood trauma came to me. My heart breaks. I pray I met her one day. I just want to hug her and show her love.

this women is already legend, God works through her for milion other victims of demonic abuse👏❤

All I can say my dear:I love u,from a grandma in South Africa

This is heartbreaking, Nina you are so strong & I’m so sorry for how your family treated you. Girls are the jewels of their family.

Nina, i feel like giving you a big hug. All the love for you and your children ❤️ 😢

Ninas family need to be held accountable for their crimes. They all need to be thrown in prison for life.

Thank you so much guys for having Nina on (Tina - Sydney Australia) xx

Nina, thank you for mentioning religion. As a Muslim woman, whenever I listen to anything about "honour killings", I feel anxious to read comments, because I know that so many people scream "Islam!" as a knee-jerk reaction, even without having listened to the story properly. Also, it is SO important, like you mentioned, that we finally acknowledge that any type of abuse isn´t due to ANY one religion or culture. There are many many people living in the same religion, yet happy and mentally sound. Like you mentioned, Sikhism is very big on "seva". Even I know that as a Muslim. Whenever a catastrophe happens in many parts of the world, I know that Sikhs are the first ones to help on the ground. It is such a disfavour and selfish thing to do, to look for these types of stories just to find some sort of support for our twisted and ignorant impressions of a nation or a religion. It´s downright damaging to the cause of helping victims. People use it to pat themselves on the back and feel superior. Because what do all these people think? That, let´s say, we kill all Muslims across the world...suddenly abuse won´t exist? Suddenly, oppression of women will stop? 🙄Well then women like I would be the first ones to leave Islam! Before Islam even arrived, the tribal Arabs used to bury girl fosters ALIVE. That´s how low the status of women was. It´s a cop-out to put everything on others, due to our lack of understanding and will to truly learn. The Islamophobes DO NOT care about women! If they did, they´d TRULY put down the work to LEARN, to UNDERSTAND and HELP us to stamp the abuse and injustice out. But they don´t. Instead, their tactic is to vote for rightwing parties, practise racism on the streets and just spread hate and violence. None of the keyboard arguers hating on Islam or any other religion, would ever even invite over a brown or black neighbour for lunch...yet they claim to care about women´s rights. 🙄 And they pretend like abuse is non-existent among them, despite their worship of alcohol and casual ...... . As if they were living some sort of angelic lives just because they are white or have rich countries built on colonial looting and centuries of systematic subjugation of other nations. So just thank you...thank you for putting that out there so clearly and being FOCUSED on the real issue.

Omg this story made me cry 😢😢 you are strong lady

A heartfelt acknowledgment to these men who have shown remarkable strength by holding space for this woman through such a harrowing experience. It takes true masculinity to sit with uncomfortable emotions, especially when society often teaches men to shy away from vulnerability. These are the kind of men who might find it easier to discuss lighter matters, yet they’ve chosen to embrace the weight of another’s pain, showing deep empathy. For moments like these, when emotions run high, a box of tissues becomes more than a simple courtesy-it’s a lifeline for guests pouring their hearts out on your podcast. A bottle of water, a comforting atmosphere-perhaps a soft couch with inviting pillows-creates a safe space where souls feel free to open up. These thoughtful details honor the emotional gravity of such conversations, allowing for healing and connection. Great episode. She’s an inspiration.

❤Thank you for sharing your story. I can really relate to everything you've said thank you for giving me hope and a new mindset a new way of thinking about hard sad unfair situations. That even in hard times change and new beginnings are possible ❤thank you for your braveness and love. God bless you. Take really good care ❤❤️

C’est inimaginable de traiter une personne si belle et lumineuse de cette manière! Mais qu’est ce que certains humains ont dans leur tête! Mais c’est dingue. Quelle vie, quel courage. Je vous envoie toute ma lumière ✨🌈🍀🦋🌺

This was a very difficult watch. Praying for justice.

"just give somebody a little bit of love today". I will do that!! Thank you, Nina. Thank for your story, and trying to help others that find themselves in the position you were in. ❤

Oh my, I’m a few minutes in and I can’t stop my eyes from welling up. What a brave, remarkable woman to endure all that she was never meant to, at the hands of those who were supposed to protect her. I pray she spends the rest of her life in happiness and healing ❤️‍🩹

I watched this before sleeping and I got nightmares. I can't imagine living her reality. Thank you for sharing your story and saving others from similar scenarios

My heart breaks for this young lady. You're so brave, may God bless you with peace and a happy life ❤❤❤

It’s so sad that your parents were monsters. You are so strong to have survived this brutal life. 😢😢😢😢😢

This women is amazing she has been through so much & has come out so much stronger. Her parents & family shoujd be ashamed of themselves they are absolutely disgusting I literally have no words. She has been through hell & back my heart is broken hearing her story I was in tears I just couldn’t control them. How horrible can people be to make someone feel & go through the physical, emotional & mental torture that she did. I pray to Allah swt that she gets all the happiness, success, long life & so much more in life that she deserves & I pray Allah swt heals her & if she hasn’t got justice yet she gets it in whatever way or form Ameen. I just wish I could give her a big hug & congratulate her for her strength & courage to speak out because her speaking out will help people like her who are going through so much to speak out & get justice

Thank you for bringing this lady on, well done brothers

It is unfortunate that we can't have a sit-down conversation with her parents and ask them why they think the way they treated their daughter was ok. We would never be able to have a frank and honest conversation with them at all.

I am so shocked and hurt for nina. Her story is so heartbreaking. We are grateful that you are raising awareness for this

I’m absolutely heart broken listening to this. Nina I hope you’re keeping up with the comments and you are truly loved.

This was really deep and emotional!

Thank you Nina for sharing your life. Boys thank you for holding space for her…

Every time I watch her talk about it, it breaks me.

Ur a survivor hearing ur story made me ball my eyes out I send u all my best intentions ur a warrior and a survivor

I've only watched 30 mins of this so far. I want to wrap Nina up in cotton wool and keep her so safe 😭😭😭😭😭 what a horrific life she's been through.

Very well spoken lady. You are so incredibly strong and fearless. Can't believe what traumas you have been through. I hope that you are finding more peace and joy in your life now. ❤

I had to stop the video in between, then returning a week later. It is SO hard to watch 😭. There is a case, recently, out of Sweden. A Swedish couple locked in one of their daughters into the laundry room, for years. She lived in her own faeces etc., tied to a baby car seat, and they fed her raw acetum (the dangerous type of vinegar), which destroyed her insides. She was found after years, and the case has been dragged for months in court. They call it "The girl and the acetum" in Swedish. She has other siblings, but they singled out for some strange reason. Extreme cases of abuse are happening ALL across the world, even in societies that we think are sorted and ideal. People need to wake up. Nina, if you are reading by any chance...I just want to say that I wish you the absolute best in this life and the Hereafter. I´m not gonna say that you are courageous and strong, because those words fall short of how amazing you are. And you didn´t have a choice. I just hope that more from your own community get in touch with you, shower you with love and support and tell their children about your work. I also hope that they support you by donating, and by inviting you to gurdwaaras and to India. Every Punjabi girl (but also others) should know your name and know your seva. There´s also another case; Mandeep Kaur. The young woman who committed suicide due to her abusing husband (it was caught on camera). Her 2 daughters are still alive, but not sure what happened to them. That case too, just broke my heart and the clips of her are horrendous. The good thing is that so many from the Sikh community in Canada actually came out on the streets to protest and highlight the plight of such women (althoug she lived in New Jersey). Even as we speak, young women are "imported" like cattle to the West, in arranged marriages, thinking that they´ve lucked out moving abroad after marriage. But the in-laws have got horrible motives (even if the bride is from their relatives) and use these women as modern day slaves (for 20-30 years). Such families TARGET and plan to get a gullible young bride from the East. I wish to see more countries digging deep into men (and women) who go abroad and bring a spouse here. The checks need to be MORE thorough, and they need to have officers who speak the language and can see through B.S. Such couples should also be monitored, and someone visit the bride regularly without any in-laws present. They should have to complete a course, to learn their rights and how to contact the police. What´s worse...I see comments by men in podcasts, encouraging each other to "Just marry a girl from back home", because they know that those young women will be given away easily by hopeful parents (who think that the daughter will have a comfy life abroad), and once they´re here...they won´t be able to contact anyone to tell them how she´s doing (as many don´t speak the language of the new country and cannot go anywhere without the in-laws´ permission or monitoring). We see these young women in our communities. These are not isolated one-off cases. Some of these women will fight you verbally, covincing that they are very happy (because being sent back to their home-country could bring shame to the parents and lower their status to a "divorcée"). We need to support newly arrived immigrant women in particular! They are completely dependent on these men and their in-laws. It´s the whole idea of theirs..to import someone vulnerable.

I have no words 🙏 these parents were not human

Queen 👏🏼👏🏼 Such a beautiful human being . i really want to hug her and tell her that she is so beautiful and brave . i really wish her all the happiness, and strength . I cried alot watching this podcast 👏🏼

RESPECT to your podcast and amazing to see young asain men hosting such a powerful conversation. Wowww blown away. xx

I cry hearing her story ohh my…I hope she heals…its not easy what she went thru…her inner child needs healing…

Nina l feel so much love for you l was brought up in a covent and was beaten from a very young age lots of bad things happened to me and my sisters and many other children.we did not experience any love. Yet l have so much love to give. I am now 73years old and have always been strong in my whole life after running away from the nuns. I took back my power from from all of those who controlled me as a child. I feel you have taken back your power from your sick evil family they will get there karma. You are a very special spiritual blessed lady. I am white British and cruelty comes in all races. Thankyou for sharing your pain and thankyou to the two young man for allowing you the safe space to do that. Sending so much Love+Light ❤❤❤

God bless you Nina, 💚 Despite what has happened to you, you have so much love to give to others. I admire your strength and courage to keep going. May God send you endless blessings 🙏🏼

Poor julia! My heart goes out to her. I hope shes in peace wherever she may be!

Another Great interview, keep it up 👍🏽

So sad the people need to be bought to justice.

What happened to these scumbags!!! She so beautiful inside and out! One thing about her she never let them break her spirit! You’re an inspiration and wow what a lady!

I want to give her the biggest Hug and let her know there are still decent people around

Hi Nina, what a bad experience /heartbreaking upbringing you had. It breaks my heart, what you went thru.....😢😢 How fragile you were and no one to help when you needed it.... I just want to tell you that you are such a strong brave woman and thanks for speaking up. You are really a great person and human being. May you be blessed and loved. Wish I could just give you a hug. If God is with you, who can be against you. On earth those awful people who hurt you so much, maybe think that they have "won" or that they had honour their religion, but remember you will be in heaven one day for eternity .🎉 God bless you 🙏❤❤❤

How can uk law allow anything like this to happen? And he is walking free? Shame on our solicitor

Broke my heart listening to this so sorry you went through this may justice be served. Dr moumita came to my mind this is so evil and brutal. Evil is formed into humans. May Allah protect and safeguard the ummah. Ameen

This is really heartbreaking. One thing I must say is that this is not punjabi culture. We can not say that for all of the punjabi families or Indian culture.Most of them are very affectionate to their daughters. She was unlucky to be born in to this family, and they happen to be punjabi. My heart breaks for her. So sad.

Your so brave & so beautiful. Promise me you will never cry again . You deserve happiness

He asks how can a mother do that My father pulled a gun to kill me, and my mother didn't even flinch. She was okay with it. Been more then 22 years still when I think back it hurts me.

What a strong woman! Brilliant podcast 👍

Omg, Narborough Road, Lesister. I used to live off Narborough Road. Its amazing how you never know whats going on in someone else home when you live on the same street

Thats crazy!!!! How can people be so cruel

Such a sad story to hear and sad that this sort of stuff is still happening , it's sad also , that along the way , whichever professionals she encountered failed to safeguard her and punish the evil , but nice to know , along her terrifying journey, there were some kind angels who helped her or gave her the guidance , the first neighbour who said , get help at the airport , her dog , for not barking and making her feel safe , etc ,

What Evil parents. Certainly a brave women, Good on her for speaking up. Hope she heals fully in this life.. Can feel her pain in her Voice .

Nina you are an amazing person, i hope your message reaches many......JRE.......your strength nina is incredible

I'm touched. and deeply, for your strengths.

That story was crazy

My heart goes out to this woman 🙏♥️

Absolutely shocking 😢

Gosh what an amazing woman.

One strong, brave woman beautiful woman. Know you are doing work to save overs. It amazes me that people do evil things then when they get caught blame it on their difficult childhood- you do the opposite.

Alot of love and support for her❤ women are strong but weak with expressing

It’s so sad that he says ‘ hope you enjoy this’ at the start … clearly lacks empathy

Nina your a very courageous beautiful brave lady those monsters are inhuman vile pieces of crap I send you a big hug xxxx

It’s so disgusting that our Asian cultures are like this! Nina is right though, not much has changed. Even now similar things are still happening and it’s so much of a taboo that it should all be just brushed under the carpet. 😢

Speechless, & heartbroken for this Angel of a girl..

Absolutely amazing woman

This is awful wish i could hug her 😢

As a mother you would give anything for your daughter to be safe.

Your a legend girl first time i heard you it finished ne off so so hard to take and so frustrating makes me sick and angry courage to a new level rated 1m % girl

Nina is just wonderful!! god bless her.

This really broke my heart.Did any of them actually pay for all the things they put this beautiful lady through?

Call them parents!! My god how awful for you. God bless you xx❤

Well done yazz handled it so well

There’re some cultures in this world I’m sooo grateful I wasn’t born into. I remember the first time hearing her tell her story.. my mind was just 🤯🤯🤯🤯 So sad.. she seems like a genuinely kindhearted human being. I wish her all the happiness this world can give her The events at 24:00 traumatized me.. MEN ARE JUST 🤢🤢🤮

Ppl use religion to to be evil 😤 Nina is beautiful from the inside out! I can’t even fathom how she survived this monstrous situation.

❤ God bless this lady. She is so beautiful.

I know it's hard for you to tell your story numerous times. I feel the pain you suffer each time. 🙏🙏

Amazing women . Respect

U r a beautiful lady!! I so admire u……thank u for sharing ur story. I hope u flourish and r taken care of and very loved 💕

That’s was a tense story… wow
