Our Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) has a number of publications that are available free of charge. These range from leaflets and posters to statutory and practice guidelines. If you would like to order hard copies of these publications, please email your request to fmu@fco.gov.uk. Your email should clearly state:
- which publications you would like (please see list below)
- how many of each
- your full postal address and a contact number.
While there are no set limits on how many copies you can order, we ask that you think realistically about how many you need. If we are unable to send you part of your order, we will contact you to let you know. We aim to despatch all requests within 10 working days. Alternatively, you can download copies below.
Outreach programme
If you are ordering our publications for use at an event, you may be interested to know that we run an outreach programme across the UK. We can speak on forced marriage at conferences or run training workshops for large groups.
