A new report from the Muslim Women's Network UK shows that Asian and Muslim girls have been targeted in sex crimes more than previously thought. Unfortunately, the UK Government has failed to adequately protect these groups.
The report recounts a long list of crimes perpetrated by pedophiles against girls an average of 13 to 14 years old. This counters the myth that these crimes are conducted mostly by Asian men against Caucasian women. The report indicates that Asian and other Muslim women may be more hesitant to report these crimes for cultural and social reasons.
All women deserve equal protection against sexual predators, regardless of race or religion. Please sign the petition to urge the UK Government to research sexual exploitation against minority females and take immediate and serious action to prevent these crimes.
