Even
worse, these savage attacks happened after authorities had said the
girl was not at risk.
Once shielded by the media, these gangs of Muslim
(called ‘Asians’ in the UK) groomers (pimps) who abduct, rape, and
prostitute young white girls are the focus of a shocking new report into
modern-day sex slavery in the UK by the Centre for Social Justice.
UK Daily Mail The
girl, who gave evidence to the committee despite still being ‘deeply
traumatised’ by the attacks, did not come from a background which put
her at risk, but became enslaved after befriending girls vulnerable to
abuse, it has been reported. Andrew
Wallis, chairman of the working group that produced the report, would
only tell the committee the girl ‘is now safe’ when asked what had
happened to her since the attacks, according to the Sunday Times.
The report claims efforts to tackle
modern slavery in the UK, including the sexual exploitation of children,
are in a state of crisis. The
CSJ, an independent think-tank set up by Iain Duncan Smith, has
attacked the Government for its ‘inadequate response’ to the issue after
the investigation uncovered a ‘shocking underworld’ of human
trafficking.
Its study found more than 1,000 adults
and children were trafficked into or within the UK in 2011/2012, but
the figure could be ‘only the tip of the iceberg’.
Among the cases were British and foreign victims who had been forced into the sex trade, a life of crime or domestic labour. British
girls trafficked within Britain for the sex trade made up nearly one
half of all UK slavery victims in the latest set of figures.
Christian Guy, managing director of
the CSJ, said: ‘Our research has uncovered a shocking underworld in
which children and adults, many of them UK citizens, have been forced
into lives of utter degradation.
‘Yet the authorities are either
failing to understand the nature of this abuse or turning a blind eye to
its existence. Our once great nation of abolitionists is a shameful
shadow of its former self.’
The
think-tank is campaigning for a radical overhaul of measures to combat
21st century slavery, including bringing all human trafficking and
modern slavery offences together
It added that victims should be
encouraged to come forward without the threat of facing prosecution over
immigration breaches or crimes they have committed since being
trafficked. More
training is also needed to ensure police officers, immigration
officials and social workers recognise the scale and nature of the
problem.
Nine Asian men were jailed last year
for between four and 19 years for grooming young white girls in and
around the town of Rochdale. The men picked them up from the school
gates and took them to houses and flats to be plied with alcohol and
drugs before being passed around for sex.
Forty-seven children were identified as victims of the exploitation that left many of their lives in tatters.
Mr Guy said: ‘We have been alarmed to
learn that British children being trafficked within the country are
often viewed as somehow being complicit in their exploitation. This is
absurd and unacceptable.
