Supporting Victims of Forced Marriage

  • We live in a world where for many free choice is not an option.

    When it comes to coercion, this should have no place in relationships.

    ​We want to help ensure relationships happen because of genuine emotion - not familial or cultural pressures.

  • All members of the Universal Team will seek to comfort, support and advise you in whatever situation you find yourself; this means whether you live in a forced marriage or forced marriage is on your life horizon.

  • There is a collective concern that the number of victims of forced marriage is on the rise.

    Allied to that the communities in which this is happening are becoming more practiced at hiding and concealing.

    If you'd like to help us we'd be delighted to hear from you.
