The My Marriage My Choice research project (2015-18) was the first of its kind to explore forced marriage of adults with learning disabilities from a safeguarding perspective with the intention of developing knowledge, policy and practice resources to support professionals in their work of safeguarding vulnerable children and adults. One of the main aims was to raise awareness of forced marriage in order that all of those who are involved in the education, care and support of individuals who cannot effectively consent to any such undertaking, might be empowered to recognise forced marriage as such and respond appropriately.

We are interested in reaching out to academics, researchers and policy makers worldwide who are working on issues of forced and unlawful marriage and welcome ideas for international research collaboration.
