Whilst younger girls are identified most often as victims of repeated crimes, the vulnerability and risks remain present for our vulnerable and marginalised girls and women across their lives. Whilst their repeated victimisation goes unreported, one only needs to chat with a woman in the justice system to see that repeated exploitation continues well beyond early adolescence.  With the challenges of evidencing the reports, barriers in accessing support to address the psychological toll of this exploitation (as discussed in the last episode) and the scrutinty the girls and women are exposed to around their own behaviours, the system is far from one of safety and support.

In this episode we explore the sexual exploitation of girls and women and speak with two frontline workers who are supporting young girls to increase their personal safety to combat the regular risks they face in the community.
