Freedom Charity working against forced marriage and dishonour based violence - UK
From their website: We aim to empower young people to feel they have the tools and confidence to support each other and have practical ways in which they can help their best friend around the issues of family relationships which can lead to early and forced marriage and dishonour based violence.
We achieve this by placing informative material in schools, running schools programmes and by using social media such as a web site, Facebook, Twitter and apps.
Helpline We have the first 24 hour seven days a week Helpline in the country. The Help-line 0845 607 0133 and Textline text '4freedom' to 88802 are manned by trained professionals to help victims of forced marriage and their friends who are seeking help, support and advice.
But It's Not Fair!
Schools Freedom's schools program is being run throughout the UK. Freedom's aim is for every teenager to receive a copy of But It's Not Fair. We have produced a set of resources such as lesson plans, workshops and activities, consistent with the National Curriculum, for teachers to deliver to all their students, as it is usually the friends of potential victims who are best positioned to raise the alarm.
