working code

jQuery(function() {          

 if (window!=window.top) { 
 parent.window.jQuery(window.parent).trigger('swipeForward');
 }
});

code in parent page

jQuery(window).on('swipeForward', function () {

alert("swiped");
});

Answer 2

Just like you would any other event:

$(window).on('swipeForward', function () {
    // code goes here...
});

Don't forget to wrap window.parent in jQuery:

$(window.parent).trigger('swipeForward');
