Story context
Forced marriage can affect people of different backgrounds, nationalities, sexes and genders.
It is not caused by a religion or explained by one community.
Understand the idea
Accurate education focuses on consent, coercion, behaviour and rights—not stereotypes.
Think, don’t disclose
A fictional situation
Educational scenario: Somebody says forced marriage happens only in one religion and every arranged marriage is forced.
Keep your answer about the fictional situation. You never need to discuss your own life or family.
Notice · Question · Reconsider
Freeze the story.
Do not decide what should happen yet. First, separate what the story tells you from what you think may be true.
Reflect privately
You may think silently, write privately or pass.
- How can myths hide risk?
- What question keeps attention on consent?
