Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [Lords].
Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [Lords]
I very much support what the hon. Gentleman says. Does he accept, however, that for some women the strong open community might feel as though it is open to people other than them? It is relatively easy for those of us in leading positions in society to assume that those structures are open to everyone in the community, but isolated and young women in particular sometimes do not feel that they are open to them. There is an obligation on us to create alternative structures that they might find more accessible.
