FREE TRAINING!

https://www.facebook.com/176595875689896/posts/3210067005676086/

Due to huge demand we have added dates for our free forced marriage training, which we provide along with Shakti Women's Aid and Hemat Gryffe Women's Aid.

The training will help attendees understand:

* the cultural context of forced marriage and its links to honour-based violence and domestic abuse
* how the forced marriage legislation, and other laws, can be used to protect children/adults who are at risk of forced marriage
* appropriate responses to identified risk and disclosure of forced marriage

One new date in Edinburgh on 22nd January, book here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/forced-marriage-training-2019-tickets-83129650021
