Part 1/9:
The Grooming Gang Crisis in the UK: A Deeply Wounded Society

The alarm bell was first rung as early as 2014 with the Alexis Jay report highlighting systemic abuse in places like Rotherham. Now, after years of indifference, societal awareness appears to be shifting towards a more determined approach to confronting the injustices surrounding these grooming gangs, often ethnically or religiously motivated.
