The world as we know it moving and changing at a pace that is alarming, challenging and invigorating and
as Globalisation occurs, old and familiar certainties are being lost and new questions and challenges are 
arising constantly. This proved particularly challenging for second- and third-generation members of women from the Asian communities who found it difficult to find a place that acknowledged or rewarded their new, often hybrid, senses of identity and alienation often ensued Cultural influence and mixture has etched itself into the fabric of a women’s life in Britain today. The impulse to indulge curiosity embrace the new, are  tempered by the fear  of losing touch, control, respect and honour and respect by the first generation the vain desire to ‘control women’ is the one of the most apparent, topical and underlying fact of these so called ‘honour Killing’.  One in four Asian women are more likely to self harm and commit suicide according to statistics, abuse both psychological and physical occurs not only from males; husbands/fathers/brothers but also from females; mother-in-laws/sister-in-laws and the extended family or clan.
