Our Girl
Our Girl is a National Forced Marriage Prevention and Awareness campaign
The campaign supports and raises awareness in the UK at a local, regional and national level with the aim to:
- Reduce the number of people affected and most ‘at risk’ of forced marriage
- Increase the number of people accessing support and reporting forced marriage
- Reduce the numbers of victims being taken abroad to be forced into a marriage
- Establish greater awareness by communities and frontline professionals.
