ALT NEW: Forced Marriage Figures 2025 show that 40% of tailored assistance cases involved children aged 17 and under. This is not a private family matter. It is child protection. Read Freedom Charity’s analysis: https://freedomcharity.org.uk/forced-marriage-figures-2025/ #ForcedMarriage Then reply with: The 2025 figures also show: • 1,295 FMU contacts • 406 tailored assistance cases • 79% of victims were in the UK when referred • 64% were British nationals • 14% had no overseas element Forced marriage can happen within reach of UK safeguarding systems. Then third reply with the schools image: Only 6% of referrals came from education professionals, despite 40% of tailored assistance cases involving children. Schools may be the only safe place where a child is seen away from family pressure. Early recognition can prevent harm. @aneetaprem
ALT Aneeta, here is the single best X post for reach and shares, with the link included and no thread: A braid was held up as a trophy. The humiliation was the point, and the camera was part of the weapon. This is dishonour abuse: public degradation used to police women through fear. The Kurdish braid protest matters because it reverses the message, refusing to carry shame on the victim’s behalf. https://www.aneeta.com/blog/kurdish-braid-protest-why-this-is-dishonour-abuse #HumanRights #Safeguarding
ALT Forced marriage and FGM are crimes. The law is clear. So why do cases still fall away? When coercion is mistaken for consent, protection fails. https://freedomcharity.org.uk/cps-forced-marriage-and-fgm/ #ForcedMarriage #FGM #Safeguarding

ALT VAWG Strategy 2025 will not be judged by the launch. It will be judged by the first response: the first call, the first log, the first risk decision, the first consequence. There is no honour in abuse. We call it Dishonour Abuse, because language drives action.
