Description

This book was a non-judgmental, fictional account of different perspectives on forced marriages, giving the background to the views of the traditional family and the families arriving to settle in this country. At the same time it showed the horrors of girls of 14- 16 being taken against their will to India/Pakistan, forced to marry and often being beaten and badly treated by the new husband’s family and with little prospect of any contact with their families here. The repercussions on families and school-friends are described, together with ways in which fellow pupils and adults can be alert and know what action they could take. It is a complex situation which requires careful handling. I think the book is essential reading for school children, teachers and all those involved in dealing with the wider situation.

Sheila Eaton- President National Council of Women

We call on government to support organisations like @FreedomCharity to deliver education programmes in schools and other settings and to provide direct support for vulnerable children so that we can end child marriage once and for all 3/3

However, as we know from our experience around forced marriage, legislation is not the same as eradication. As our founder @ANEETAPREM has said, the hard work to eradicate this abusive practice starts now. 2/3
