New statistic shows the scale of forced marriage in the UK

The Forced Marriage Unit has today released figures showing it was involved in nearly 1500 cases during 2012. There was a piece on the Today programme this morning about this issue including an interview with a spokesperson from the Freedom charity who campaign against forced marriage. Listening earlier, the debate touched on issues of child protection, domestic violence, sexuality and culture; a combustible mix indeed.

If you'd like to hear the interview then it's available here and the Freedom charity website is definitely worth a look too. If you'd like more information on this issue then I'd be glad to offer some recommendations.
