Children and women are being raped by traffickers inside a refugee camp in northern France, according to detailed testimony gathered ahead of fresh legal action against the UK government’s approach to the welfare of unaccompanied minors.
Corroborating accounts from volunteers, medics, refugees and security officials reveal that sexual abuse is common within the large camp at #Dunkirk and that children and women are forced to have sex by traffickers in return for blankets or food or the offer of passage to the UK.
