Young woman engaged by age 13 shares her story of escaping forced marriage

  • 2 weeks ago
A young woman who escaped a forced marriage. We're calling her Aisha for her own safety, but that's not her real name. Aisha was engaged by the time she was 13. Within three years, she'd taken her parents to court to stop them taking her out of the country and being married against her will. Forced marriage is the most common form of human trafficking in Australia. But despite how common it is, victim-survivors face high personal costs for speaking out.
