Raising Awareness of Honour Based Abuse and Forced Marriage

Description

It’s important your staff know the correct legislation and how to spot the signs. This Honour Based Abuse and Forced Marriage training course for schools covers the signs, laws of Forced Marriage, the options for victims, the forced marriage protection order (FMPO), and what actions to take if your staff suspect or know someone is at risk.

Honour Based Abuse constitutes an array of criminal offences including Forced Marriage, which are both serious violations of human rights, and often affect young women, girls, and boys. Forced marriage is classified as such when one or both people are pressured or forced into a marriage they do not consent to, for the benefit of a third party’s interest.
