Aina Khan was awarded an OBE for the protection of women and children in unregistered marriages.
Following the centenary year of the Order of the British Empire and the Order of the Companions of Honour, The New Year Honours List continues to demonstrate the breadth of service given by people from all backgrounds and ethnicities across the United Kingdom.
70% of awards in the New Year Honours List will go to people who have undertaken outstanding work in or for their local community, following the Prime Minister’s strategic steer that she would like more honours to go to people contributing to society and their communities.
