1 min read
What it is: A project in Walsall that works with young women at risk of sexual exploitation

Aims: To raise awareness of how young women are groomed into and abused through sexual exploitation

Funding: From Walsall social services last year

Contact: Kelly Woodcock, Walsall youth offending service, 01922 493 006

The emphasis when pronouncing the name of this award-winning project should firmly be on the first two words. Sex, Lies and Love?, which has been running for two years, uses drama and the arts to teach young women about the dangers of sexual exploitation.

Around 170 young women aged 12 to 19 have so far taken part in the two-day project. It is a partnership between Walsall youth offending service, Walsall Street Teams and Walsall Youth Arts.
