Urgent call for early action to prevent forced marriage
Dr. Souhair Safwat from Ain Shams University discussed the importance of establishing comprehensive mechanisms to rehabilitate victims of forced marriage. She emphasized that psychological recovery alone is not sufficient; economic, social, and legal support must also be provided to integrate them into society. She pointed out a gap between laws combating human trafficking and victims’ awareness of their rights. Many victims suffer from psychological disorders and long-standing social stigma, which calls for rehabilitation programs and economic empowerment initiatives. She also revealed a proposed project called "Freedom Marriage," offering shelter and comprehensive support for girls at risk of exploitation. Additionally, she highlighted the launch of an electronic application called "Goth" that enables early reporting of forced marriage cases. She called on families and the media to raise more awareness and educate parents to avoid succumbing to economic pressures that could lead to falling into the trap of human trafficking.
