With the recent High profile sexual abuse cases related to street grooming gangs the Sikh Helpline is launching a “Grooming Awareness Campaign”. We are aiming to reach as many young people and family members as possible and make them aware of the dangers of street and online grooming.
The Sikh Helpline (UK) is aiming to do this by providing information , creating multimedia resources, and encouraging family members and young people to discuss these issues openly so that there is fewer young people vulnerable to these malicious gangs. You can help by reading the information, sharing it with others, doing a presentation in your local area and above all speaking to young members of your own family so they can be aware.
As Sikhs we believe in a saying from our scriptures “treat other women as your mothers, sisters and daughters accordingly”, so it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of young girls regardless of their race, religion or colour as they are also someones daughter or sister.
