Nina Aouilk was just 21 when she was left for dead, lying in a pool of blood, after her own father tried to murder her in an alleged 'honour killing'.
The horrific attack reportedly followed years of abuse, including a brutal rape, being tied up for days, and having her face forced into her own urine.
Ms Aouilk, who was born in the UK but has Punjabi heritage, told MailOnline how, from age six, she was treated as a 'slave' in her own home and forced to serve her relatives.
She says this was because in her culture girls were 'not needed or wanted' and were told to stay in the kitchen.
Although her torment began in early childhood, it became significantly worse at age 14 when she says she was brutally gang raped by her father and his friends.
