What the petition asks
When the harrowing reports were released about the grooming scandal in Rotherham, it wasn't a great surprise that the main way the girls involved were trafficked: mainly by taxis. CCTV in all taxis UK-wide could help decrease rape and abuse of young girls, and drastically increase their safety.
