HONOUR BOUND: Forced marriages and 'honour' violence are the focus of a drama project visiting schools.

All Our Daughters, a compelling theatre production, began a tour of Staffordshire schools with a launch at Brownhills Maths and Computing College in Tunstall yesterday.

The drama and accompanying workshops are based on real life testimonies of women who have been forced into marriage and experienced first hand honour violence.

The project aims to increase understanding of the issue to help teachers, children and others spot tell-tale signs that a colleague, friend or pupil may be under threat.
