20th Nov 2017. D&D Leasing - Karma Nirvana
D&D Leasing, the Canadian/UK-based leasing company, is continuing its tradition of raising awareness of lesser known and often underfunded charities by nominating Karma Nirvana, the charity that supports the victims of honour based abuse and forced marriage, at the D&D Leasing annual Christmas event in London in December.
D&D Leasing CEO Rev. Dr. K. Bill Dost, who is also one of The Leasing Foundation board members, said of his support:
"We chose Karma Nirvana as our charity this year because honour based abuse remains a relatively unpublicized, and often unspoken, concern - but one that affects many people in the UK. Honour based abuse, long thought to be gender based, only affecting girls and women, is a much broader problem - the true extent of which Karma Nirvana has revealed. It was also thought that this was only an issue for 'other people, elsewhere' but we need to come to terms with the fact that it is a reality in the U.K. and that anyone can be subjected to it. For many people it's likely that someone we know in our social circles has been a victim of it, or affected by it."
