Nimco Ali, an independent government adviser on violence against women and girls, told Sophy Ridge On Sunday: “I think the idea of a child controlled by a strip – whether female or male – should be something we should not be. can be tolerated in this country “. The girl’s family – known as Child Q – is suing the Metropolitan Police and her school for the incident that happened in December 2020. It came to light this month in a safeguard report, which found that racism “was likely to be a factor of influence”. The Local Child Protection Practice Survey, conducted by the City & Hackney Safeguarding Children Partnership, revealed that the teenager withdrew from examinations to be investigated after teachers called police. Two female officers conducted the investigation, during which the narrow parts of the schoolgirl’s body were revealed and they forced her to take off her sanitary napkin, according to the review. Family members described her as changing from a “happy girl to a cowardly loner who hardly speaks”, who now injures herself and needs treatment. We have more to do about racism Asked about the possible role of racism in the incident, Ms Ali said: “This country is one of the most tolerant countries in Europe. “Do we have more to do? Yes, there are. “Covid has really brought out a lot of awful people – I’ve experienced it a bit over the last two years – really horrible racist experiences that I never thought the UK could do.” He added: “Finally, we need to talk about the Met Police and institutional racism.” Scotland Yard apologized for the incident and said “it should never have happened”. The Independent Police Behavior Office (IOPC) investigated three police officers for misconduct. Ms Ali also expressed concern about the Homes For Ukraine program, which allows Britons to host Ukrainians who have fled the war in their own country.

Last week it was reported that more than 150,000 people in Britain had expressed interest in hosting a refugee, but the government did not say how many applicants had been successful.
