Honouring the Victims of Forced Marriage and Honour Killings:
Moving from Awareness to Action

An interactive seminar aimed at creating a multi-agency approach

This seminar aims to take us from public awareness, debates about legislation and understanding cultural and religious rationale – to a practical conversation amongst all practitioners working in the areas of forced marriage and honour based violence. Discussion around questions like: why aren’t women using the FMPO and lawyers; what is happening in the educational context; what the Forced Marriage Unit and Consulates actually do in a forced marriage case; how effectively are practitioners working together to help victims.
