The Ramadhan
Foundation is featured in a BBC Panorama programme on Thursday 27th
March 2008 at 10.35pm on BBC one titled “Teenage
Sex for Sale”.
Mohammed Shafiq,
Director of the Ramadhan Foundation is featured speaking out against
this evil practice, the Foundation is the only prominent
organisation from the Ethnic minority community in the North West
speaking and campaigning against this practice.
Mr. Mohammed
Shafiq, Director of the Foundation comments:
“The Ramadhan
Foundation believes that is practice of grooming white teenagers
into prostitution is a problem that needs to be dealt with openly
and without any fears. Having heard at first hand the effect this
has on young girls and their families I am determined that we speak
out and ensure that the communities recognise the problem and work
to eradicate it.
Whilst there is
no evidence that the Police or local authorities are deliberately
not speaking out about this evil practice due to the fear of being
labeled racist, their silence is contributing to a vacuum where only
the BNP benefit.
I would urge the
Police, local authorities, religious and community groups to be open
about the practice and encourage all to work together to eradicate
it, only working together can we defeat it and ensure that the BNP
are not seeking political advantage.
I hope that our
contribution will encourage others to speak.”
