Intersectionality of Forced Marriage with Other Forms of Abuse in the United States
In the United States, forced marriage can impact individuals of any age, gender, socio-economic status, ethnic or religious background. In a 2011 survey, service providers in the U.S. (primarily legal and social service agencies in the domestic violence and sexual assault field but also including law enforcement, school and university staff, counselors and other legal professionals) reported encountering as many as 3,000 known or suspected cases of forced marriage (Tahirih Justice Center, 2011). The current article is a follow up looking at the intersectionality of other forms of abuse and forced marriage.
