This course was comprehensive and included the important input of people with lived experience. It was Good. The content was upsetting at times but opened my eyes to just how prevalent FM is. The videos from survivors were extremely interesting, the women showed such courage talking about the horrors they’ve been through. Also interesting to learn about all the work that’s being done in the different agencies. A really great course with a wealth of different source materials. I really enjoyed participating in the different discussions and was definitely challenged by some of the different talking points. What was also great was the level of interaction with end of week lives. I would definitely recommend for any one interested in either gender violence, social policy, human rights or for those simply interested in the difference between forced and arrange marriages. This was an excellent course, it was interesting and thought provoking dealing with such a complex and at times very distressing issue. I found the organisation, content, contributions and expertise of the various academics and practitioners excellent in developing my knowledge and understanding each week, addressing theory, practice and the law. This was highlighted with the use of case studies, which while distressing to hear, showed how the problems, strength and courage of survivors were encountered.
