Description
This shocking documentary reveals the scale of forced marriages in Europe. Ayse was just 11 years old when she became engaged. "Eat sugar and speak sweetly" is a Kurdish and Turkish saying advising young brides like Ayse to talk about pleasant subjects rather than complaining about their forced marriages. Regularly beaten and raped, she was forced to work as a slave for her husband's family. Her story is not unusual. In the Turkish immigrant community, arranged marriages are routine. As women are starting to defy these traditions and tell their stories, attitudes are slowly changing. In Turkey, for example, membership in the European Union has led to new laws giving equal rights to women.
