VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|HarryR|DATE|1357637027|CONTENT|There&#039;s nothing wrong to hear a someone state plainly that women are of equal value to men and they should watch out for attempts by men to sexually exploit them, so I don&#039;t understand why this deserves a 3 unless the Rev believes that what His Lordship said was the bleeding obvious.

If there&#039;s a quibble, it&#039;s that the community gathering the Sikhs and Police held was to inform Sikh women of college age to watch out for sexual exploiters. I just wonder if the purpose is to apply social control over the women&#039;s sexual choices when living relatively independent lives rather than an actual concern for exploitation of vulnerable females due to their young age or their poverty before they get there. 

Have the Police also held a gathering with communities to warn children of exploitation and that they are not to blame despite what may have been told and to talk to a trusted adult or the Police if they have concerns.

The publicity stemming from Jimmy Savil&#039;s (&lt;spit&gt;) behaviour has pushed sexual exploitation to the top of the agenda, reflecting the attitude to it by most people, and there must be many, many people living in some anxiety wondering if there&#039;ll be a knock on the door for things they&#039;ve done in the past. Sadly, that&#039;s probably the only trouble they&#039;ll get.

Surely all children should be taught at school about the nature of exploitation and how to recognise it and how to deal with it. The best defence is to build up children&#039;s self respect. 

I recall a play about sexual exploitation in the Sikh community was closed down by a semi-riot outside by Sikh males. The Independent was published shortly after with its front page blank to protest the censorship. 

Of course the play was just a play. But the violence was real.|IP-ADDRESS|92.40.254.244|MODERATIONFLAG|
