Agincourt Community Services Association

The Forced Marriage Project (FMP) is a project of Agincourt Community Services Association (ACSA). The project is funded by Status of Women Canada. ACSA is a registered non-profit charitable, multi-service agency at the heart of Agincourt addressing needs and empowering children, youth, newcomers, homeless and underserved communities to build a better tomorrow. For more information about ACSA, please visit www.agincourtcommunityservices.com. ABOUT US The FMP is an awareness and education initiative. Hundreds, possibly thousands, of women, girls, men and boys in Canada are affected by forced marriage; however it is an issue that has not as yet been adequately addressed in Canada. As such, we approach the issue of forced marriage from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist position, viewing it primarily as a form of violence against women, which is sometimes used to control men and boys as well, and we seek to address it along with other forms of violence and domestic abuse.
