The Last Taboo?

BBC Radio 4 - File on 4, The Last Taboo?

Is there a hidden problem of child sex abuse within Britain's Asian communities?

After recent cases in which Asian men were convicted of grooming white girls, Manveen Rana asks if there is also a hidden problem of child sex abuse within Asian communities.

As inquiries into child abuse in Rotherham continue, File on 4 investigates claims of a hidden problem of sexual abuse within Britain's Asian communities.

While the victims of recent grooming scandals have mostly been white girls, campaigners say Asian boys and girls have also been subjected to abuse over many years.

Male and female survivors tell Manveen Rana there's a powerful culture of denial stopping many speaking out and getting justice. They say communities too often close ranks and ostracise or threaten those who complain, while leaving perpetrators to carry on.

Reporter: Manveen Rana

Assistant Producer: Yasminara Khan.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
