I asked the Safeguarding Minister, Jess Phillips, if she'd considered the impact that mass migration has on the safety of women and girls. She said that there's no reliable data on this issue. But that isn't entirely true. There is indicative data, and it is damning. It's true that people from any country, or culture, can be violence towards women and girls, including sexually. It's also true that, regardless of a person's background, we should come down hard on those who commit violent or sexual abuse. However, we should also recognise that not every culture has the same attitudes towards women and girls. In some cultures, for example, it's seen as indecent for a woman to walk around without her hair covered. In most cultures, it’s normal for men and women to be segregated for some things (like getting changed); in some cultures, men and women are segregated for many more things. In some cultures, physical and sexual violence towards women is commonplace. When men from those cultures come to this country, those are the cultural assumptions they bring with them. This makes intuitive sense. Why would we expect people to suddenly adopt British norms, habits, and behaviours, immediately upon arriving here? Particularly when so many people in the British state are unwilling to recognise that different cultures have different norms in the first place? That's not to say that everybody from these cultures poses a threat to women and girls. And of course, some of those people may have wanted to come here to get away from those very cultural expectations. But what we often see is that, 'per capita' (or per person), people from certain nationalities are more likely to commit certain types of crime when they come to the UK. That's particularly true in the case of illegal migrants, who are disproportionately likely to be young men - the group most likely to commit violent or sexual crime. Back in October, Labour MPs voted to block the release of detailed migrant crime data, which would have given us the full picture about how likely different migrant groups are to commit certain crimes. Some nationalities might be more likely to commit crime than British nationals. Others might be less likely. But at least we'd have the data, which would allow us to have an informed debate about this. However, thanks to the hard work of campaigners and journalists, we have some indicative data about the rates at which different nationalities commit crime, including crime which disproportionately targets women and girls. For example, data obtained from the Ministry of Justice last year showed that two nationalities, Afghans and Eritreans, were more than 20 times as likely to be convicted of a sexual offence than British nationals. This data showed that Afghans had a conviction rate for sexual offences of 59 per 10,000 people, while Eritreans had a conviction rate of 53.6 per 10,000 people. British nationals, on the other hand, had a conviction rate of 2.66 per 10,000. People have since disputed those figures. They say that, since the population figures used to work out this data are taken from the 2021 Census, we're likely to be undercounting the number of Afghans and Eritreans in the country. But even if that's true, the rate of conviction for sexual offences would still be much higher amongst Afghans and Eritreans than amongst British nationals. If this indicative data is wrong, then the Government should publish the full figures. Their failure to do so is a choice. We can collect a person's nationality when they're arrested, when they stand trial, and when they go to prison. People deserve to know what impact mass migration is having on the safety of women and girls. We need to be able to tell the truth about the fact that not every culture treats women in the same way, and that when people arrive here, they often bring that cultural baggage with them.
