Meet Esha. She came to London in 2023 from Nougram, a small village outside Jhelum. She entered London on a fiancée visa and went to Nottingham three days later to meet the man who paid her family in Pakistan the equivalent of £4000 to bring her here, with a view to marrying her. Relations with him quickly soured and she sought help in Nottingham with local forced marriage groups who facilitated her departure back to London. A self confessed Anglophile, she had long been interested in Western Culture and thought a new life in the UK would be the answer to her problems at home. But Esha's positive philosophy is helping her adjust to a different set of circumstances from the ones she dreamed of. Now she is in London awaiting the outcome of an asylum application and hoping to start a new life in the UK.
