Across Britain, young girls from all demographics are being groomed, trafficked and sexually exploited by drug gangs. Authorities have been warned repeatedly about what’s happening to these girls, often known as ‘gift girls’, and yet the same failures continue.
In Britain’s Forgotten Girls, a documentary for BBC Current Affairs, director, producer and journalist Alessia Camoirano speaks to survivors, whistleblowers and those who raised the alarm, to investigate why horrific criminal and sexual exploitation has been allowed to continue for more than two decades. Mick got Alessia on the Zoom to find out more.
Britain’s Forgotten Girls airs on Wednesday 9 September at 9pm on BBC2, then again on Tuesday 15 September at 11pm, and on Thursday 17 September at 1.35am.
