I just don't even know what is going on in the UK is anymore..A school in Leeds is attempting to tackle forced marriages by giving their pupils spoons to hide in their underwear to trigger airport metal detectors.
Students at the Co-Operative academy in Harehills have all been given the cutlery as part of a programme designed to raise awareness about “honour”-based abuse and forced marriage.
The scheme has been implemented in the hope that pupils who fear they are being taken overseas for an arranged marriage can hide the spoons in their underwear. This will then trigger airport metal detectors and allow students to raise the alarm with security staff privately.

Yeah lets post this in the newspapers so their daddies can fiddle the panties one last time and remove any silverware left in there.
btw, this 'tactic' has been posted in the news in various countries the past years. It's not a UK thing.

I didn't know that forced marriages are a part of British culture?

This is a very bizarre thing to read...seriously. We may have our problems here, but I have never heard of sticking silverware in your kids underwear to make sure they aren't being farmed off to be married. One of those wtf kind of things.

Rare....read the word rare. Plus parental or judicial permission...not like they can just go skipping out the door and get a license. Originally Posted by Gwiez

There is this abuse happening that we find abhorrent.
But there is a way girls get out of it.
By the way, this is what they are doing.
God damn snitches.

Huh, neat.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.

Have the schools explain that it isn't acceptable, and have the children alert someone? Originally Posted by Dkwhyevernot
