Compounding Victimizations of Forced Marriage Survivors: Advanced Webinar
With funding from the Office on Violence Against Women, this webinar will expand on the foundational knowledge of forced and child marriage in the U.S., examining the heightened risks of multiple experiences of discrimination, and the added challenges individuals face when seeking assistance.
In many cases, individuals impacted by forced marriage go unnoticed when they seek assistance from victim service providers. Understanding the dynamics of power and control that they experience is crucial, as the tactics used by perpetrators to coerce someone into marriage or keep them in an unwanted marriage often mirror those seen in cases of domestic and sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how forced marriage intersects with various forms of abuse and will learn more effective strategies for prevention and support.
