Uniting against Honor related Killings and Crimes; Honoring it's Victims and raising awareness of these practices through worldwide candlelight vigils. It is important to mention as an event coordinator we collect no funds whatsoever. This is not an effort to create a new organization. Nor do we plan to align ourselves with any one organization. Our goal is to raise awareness of these crimes and provide a platform to groups, organizations and individuals all over the world who are fighting for this cause. This is a way to engage their communities and take action against these practices in a peaceful and powerful way. May we show that while diverse in many areas Humanity comes together under basic Human Values. May the world see a day when these practices no longer have a place.
Love Commandos is a voluntary organization in India dedicated to helping India’s lovebirds who want to marry for love. We provide assistance in protecting couples, helping them fight harassment and giving them shelter so they can marry freely.
