Sakeenah Canada Forced Marriage as a Form of Human Trafficking

Forced marriage, often disguised as a cultural norm, can be a form of human trafficking that severely affects individuals and families.

This webinar will explore how cultural, social, and legal factors contribute to its continuation and raise awareness about its intersection with trafficking.

Expert panelists from social work, law, and faith leadership will discuss the psychological impact, victim protections, and the role of faith leaders in preventing forced marriages.

This important event will feature:
- A dedicated lawyer and advocate, sharing legal insights on protections for victims and addressing systemic challenges.
- A registered psychotherapist, discussing the psychological toll of forced marriage and strategies for healing.
- A renowned faith leader, exploring the role of religious communities in prevention and support.

They will offer practical solutions for addressing this issue within our communities.
