Forced marriage is an abuse of human rights and a form of violence against women. This half-day course will enhance your knowledge of the law and enable to support women and girls at risk of, or who have experienced, forced marriage. The course explains the legal remedies that exist to protect victims of forced marriage and will give you an understanding of the procedure for getting a forced marriage protection order. We will investigate the new role of local authorities as relevant third parties and examine the impact of the Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act 2007 one year on.
