RESEARCH PROJECTS
In September 2019, I was awarded a grant to improve outcomes for victims of forced marriage through conducting the first comprehensive study of Forced Marriage Protection Orders (FMPOs).
This research commenced in March 2020 and addresses key gaps in knowledge regarding the impact and effectiveness of FMPOs during the last ten years.
My current research portfolio also includes a seva [selfless service] project examining the impact of Covid-19 on specialist Black and racially minoritised ‘by and for’ services tackling violence against women and girls.
