Human Trafficking PSA 
Dr. Pearlie M. Jones
Men are forced in Marriage, too 
Xavier J. Peg

Unwilling grooms often have few avenues of escape from family pressure
Young men in Germany's Turkish immigrant community are being forced into marriage by their families, Der Speigel reports. Organizations that help people escape from such marriages say the focus on female victims overlooks the fact that men are also being harassed, blackmailed and beaten into marriages, often to a close relative. Many are too ashamed or afraid to seek help. Men often have few places to turn for escape and face being ostracized from close- knit families if they try.

Some families in Germany's Turkish immigrant community are foisting brides on their reluctant or flat-out unwilling sons
Psychologists say that men entering into arranged marriages are often coerced by unbearable amounts of pressure from their families, sometimes including suicide threats.
Men as Victims of Forced Marriages 
However, as with domestic violence, men can also be victims of Forced Marriage. This includes heterosexual men, as well as gay, bi and trans men. Some 15% of victims that are identified by the Forced Marriage Unit of the Foreign Office are men. Forced Marriages are Criminal

LEGISLATION IS NOT ENOUGH 
โ€ขState prosecutors are reluctant to take on cases under an untested human-trafficking law. Many others are simply unaware of the law or the human-trafficking crime. 
โ€ขState prosecutors lack the resources or support to take on time-intensive, lengthy, and sometimes multiple-state trafficking cases They lack the infrastructure, expertise, and initiative to investigate labor trafficking, whereas sex- trafficking investigations are carried out by vice units, which focus on prostitution-related crimes. 
โ€ขHuman-trafficking cases are not prioritized at the state and local level, with just 7 percent of human-trafficking cases leading to a formal charge.
Legislation is not Enough Source: Sreeharsha, K. H. (2012, September). The State of State Human-Trafficking Laws. Retrieved from American Bar Association - the Judge's Journal: http://www.americanbar.org/publications/judges_journal/2013/winter/ the_state_of_state_humantrafficking_laws.html
We donโ€™t want the victims to be impacted by the following quote An important job had to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybodyโ€™s job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldnโ€™t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. Thought Renewal http://thoughtrenewal.blogspot.com/

What Can You Do? 
Forced marriage is an under-reported problem in certain regions of the world. The Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs has compiled information for those countries that have reported cases where U.S. citizens have faced forced marriage. Information available varies by country, but may include discussion of the legalities of marriage, cultural context, and resources available to prevent forced marriage. Please consult the โ€œSpecial Circumstancesโ€ section of our Country Specific Information for your country of destination. GET INVOLVED!!!
