Sarbjit Athwal’s sister-in-law was taken to India by her in-laws, and was drugged, murdered and dumped in a river there. Sarbjit campaigned, despite of opposition from her community, for justice for her sister-in-law and gave evidence in open court in the honour killing trial as the Prosecution's key witness, and waived her anonymity in the trial. Justice was served 7 years after the murder when her mother-in--law and brother-in-law were jailed for the honour killing.

Sarbjit has written a book called “Shamed” about the murder of her sister-in-law. The book has been published in 6 languages. Punjabi version of this book is called "Beizzat".

A seminar on Domestic Violence and Honour Killings was held in Sydney where Sarbjit narrated her this story. This seminar was organised by Punjabi Council of Australia.
