| Abstract Text | There has been a growing interest in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) in research on marginalized communities and women’s health and well-being. Important work has been done considering domestic violence (DV), intimate partner violence (IPV), and technologies to address these problems, but little research thus far has looked at the issue of forced marriage. In this paper, we present a study investigating the experiences of individuals affected by forced marriage from various cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds. We also examine the processes and challenges for helping organizations that provide assistance to people in forced marriage situations and explore opportunities for the design of technologies to support individuals affected by forced marriages. Through in-depth interviews and participatory design exercises with people affected by forced marriage and help organization staff members, we offer a rich account of the experiences surrounding forced marriage and identify avenues via which the HCI and CSCW research communities can leverage their expertise to address the problem of forced marriage, potentially contributing to the reduction or elimination of this harmful practice. |
