Fighting Child Rape: The REAL March for Families

Liberty Nation- The nationwide rallies against immigrant family separation on Saturday, June 30, caught the attention not just of the American media, but also the international press. While many may look upon a campaign titled “#familiesbelongtogether” in a positive light, it is worth noting that another family-oriented march took place in the U.K. that was completely ignored.

The BBC is the British state broadcaster, and as such, has a responsibility under its charter to report, without bias or prejudice, the news that takes place in Britain. The march that took place in Sunderland, in the north of England, was not deemed newsworthy… could this be because it was named “No More Rapes,” and was aimed at demanding that the government deal with the grooming gangs and “migrant rape epidemic” that has seen hundreds of children sexually abused and trafficked?

A City in Crisis

The city of Sunderland, in the Northumbria region, has been hard hit by cases of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE). A Government report suggests that there are more than 700 victims of sexual abuse living in the area; the document states that prior to 2014, “perpetrators were not consistently investigated and so went unpunished.” It also points out that the victims were subjected to “inhuman and degrading treatment” during the cursory investigations.

While these types of offenses were not properly investigated prior to 2014, the offenders who have been convicted in the years since, have mainly been British Muslims or Muslim migrants.

An estimated 3,000 protesters, mostly women and girls, marched through the streets of Sunderland expressing their disgust with the courts and the government’s failure to address what one protester described as “the systematic rape of our children.” MORE
