Dame Jasvinder Kaur Sanghera, DBE (born Derby, England September 1965[2][3]) is a British author and campaigner against forced marriages and abuse.

At first she refused, and was locked in her room, but eventually regained more freedom by appearing to consent, and then was able to escape and live her own life, and was disowned by all her family, which never reconciled.

Her work is recognised as a key contributory factor to the creation of a specific UK forced-marriage criminal offence in 2014.

She was a member of the three-person Independent Safeguarding Board for the Church of England, until all three appointments were terminated by the Archbishops' Council in June 2023.

Dame Jasvinder is also listed in the 2016 edition of the book Who’s Who and in the same year received the International Woman Award for human rights from the Italian media.
