Migrant women call for education and awareness of forced marriage in Australia

When Victorian sisters Hamida and Fatemah Samar heard about the forced marriage and subsequent murder of 21-year-old Ruqia Haidari, it brought back traumatising memories.

The Samar sisters, based in Mansfield, grew up seeing women, including three of their sisters, get married without having much say in the matter.

But that was in Afghanistan, the country they fled after the Taliban returned to power in 2021.

Didn't Bob Hawke, demigod, tell us that multiculturalism would enrich the Australian lifestyle. Is calling out forced marriages somehow 'racist'. Who will fund the education program, We (Australian taxpayers) already pay to teach them English so why not lump education into that program.

Hey Fatemah, don't you think forced marriage is a quality practice.

So you think forced marriages should be just ignored & condoned when they happen in Australia?

'I thought we encouraged migrants to bring their rich culture,'

Are you seriously suggesting that forced marriages are a good thing that should be encouraged?
