Parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee is holding the
e-consultation as part of its investigation into domestic
violence, including forced marriages and 'honour-based'
violence.
The committee wants to hear from victims and survivors about
your experiences, to help improve services. What you tell them
will form part of their recommendations to the Government.
