Overview of forced marriages in Britain followed by showing of 40 min documentary, \'Poles Apart: Chains do not keep Marriages Together\' and conversation / QA with documentary maker Samar Minallah.
Date: Monday 2nd December 2013
Time: 9.30am to 12pm
Venue: Small Heath Community Forum, Khidmat Centre, 2A Heather Road, Birmingham, B10 9TA
Registration: FREE (open to men and women) but as places are limited, you must register by emailing Muslim Women’s Network UK on contact@mwnuk.co.uk or calling 07415 206 936 / 07802225989
Samar Minallah, an award winning documentary filmmaker and human rights activist from Pakistan, uses documentaries for social change and advocacy in Pakistan. For the last 15 years she has highlighted various forms of forced marriages including compensation marriages like Vani/Swara and early marriages.
Her latest documentary on forced marriages, Poles Apart: Chains do not keep Marriages Together,’ focuses on individuals who eventually managed to get out and forced marriages amongst the Diaspora communities in order to maintain links with their roots or other social and cultural reasons. Samar also focuses on parents as prospective agents of change: “When they realise the detrimental consequences of forced marriages on their children, they will stop perpetuating the tradition.”
The documentary was shot in Oslo, Jhelum, Gujrat and Lalamusa. Khadija from Jhelum dared to return back to Pakistan after enduring an abusive relationship with her husband for seven years abroad. Now she teaches driving to young girls in her local area and is an inspiration to them. However, the documentary does not restrict itself to just women, adding another layer to the issue by focusing on the impact forced marriages have on men.

Venue: Scottish Women\'s Aid Office, 2nd Floor, 132 Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3JD
The Forced Marriage etc. (Protection and Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Act was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 22 March 2011 to provide a specific civil remedy for those threatened with forced marriage and those already in such a marriage. The Act received Royal Assent on 27 April 2011 and came into force on 28 November 2011.
A forced marriage is a marriage in which one or both spouses do not (or, in the case of children/young people/adults at risk, cannot) consent to the marriage and duress is involved. Duress can include physical, psychological, financial, sexual and emotional pressure, threatening conduct, harassment, threat of blackmail, use of deception and other means.
This session will explore what is meant by a forced marriage and explain the provisions of the new The Forced Marriage etc. (Protection and Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Act.
By the end of the session attendees will:
- Understand the difference between arranged and forced marriage.
- Understand how the Forced Marriage etc. (Protection and Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Act 2011, and a range of other legislation, can be used to protect children/adults at risk of forced marriage.
- Identify a range of support available and where to seek advice if working with someone affected by forced marriage.
Facilitator: Mridul Wadwha (Shakti Women’s Aid).
Mridul Wadhwa is the Information and Education Officer at Shakti Women’s Aid. Mridul campaigns and delivers training and consultancy on issues affecting Black Minority Ethnic women experiencing domestic abuse. Mridul has a masters in the management of training and development from the University of Edinburgh. She migrated to Scotland in 2004 and is a descendant of a clan of refugees and migrants to India.
This is a one day course designed to equip professionals with skills and knowledge to identify those vulnerable to forced marriage and take basic action in response. It is not expected that people will be or feel ‘expert’ at the end of the course, but they will have a heightened understanding of the issues surrounding forced marriage, an understanding of what is expected of them in their professional role, and knowledge of the sources of help available.
Cost: £95 per statutory sector delegate/£75 per voluntary sector delegate inclusive of buffet lunch.
Carlisle Business Centre, 60 Carlisle Road, Manningham.
Topic
Are being personally influenced by the media? and how does this impact on our lives and beliefs.
Background
On 30th April, the first Conversation Café was launched with 32 women from the Muslim & Christian Faith communities coming together at St Paul\'s Church, Manningham to explore the creative and sometimes controversial relationship between religion, style and fashion. This is certainly visible on the High Street or turn on the TV to see that in recent years fashion has become central to expressions of personal faith, spirituality, and ethics for women of different faiths and for those who self-define themselves as secular.
