It’s not just grooming gangs, there are instances in the UK where a family have raped and murdered their own daughter in a so called honour killing and the police reckoned 50 members of the community closed ranks and lied to them to cover it up.
Survior stories are utterly harrowing, imagine trying to return to your family because you were raped by your husband and his family for them to attempt to beat you to death. Then the police do nada as “cultural”.
They have changed the rules on reporting so called honour based violence I.e. making police document it. There are thousands of instances each year as well as at least a dozen deaths. The number could be much higher but is written off as suicide or accident.
I actually think this is getting worse as there are parallel communities where some girls and women are so restricted they live in echo chambers that deny them the rights that we have in the UK.
