FEMI MOHAMMED - Why I Am Publishing My Story
I have decided to publish my story not out of bravery but out of desperation because I no longer believe that remaining silent protects me. Instead, I believe silence places me at greater risk.
As a Muslim survivor, I am conscious that many Muslim victims and survivors remain unheard. Too often, our experiences are overlooked, minimised, contained, or covered up, leaving survivors without a voice and preventing the full truth from being known.
For many years, I have lived with the consequences of child sexual exploitation, grooming, trafficking, sexual violence, intimidation, and what I believe have been repeated failures while seeking justice. Throughout this time, I tried to work through the appropriate channels, placing my trust in individuals, organisations, and institutions that claimed they wanted to expose wrongdoing and support victims.
Between August 2025 and January 2026, I was selected to participate in
@RupertLowe10 ‘s Rape Gang Inquiry. I was advised not to disclose my Child Sexual Exploitation at the age of 17 where I was trafficked for 18 years. I shared details of my experiences and evidence relating to my recent cases involving a Conservative public figure. I was subsequently invited to attend the Inquiry hearings in February 2026, and my travel arrangements were made. However, shortly before the hearings, I was removed without explanation. I believe the decision to exclude me came from the highest level of the Inquiry.
In May 2026, I also participated in two podcasts with
@benhabib6. He encouraged me to speak openly about my experiences and he was provided with evidence that I had gathered over many years. After being assured that the second podcast would be released, it has not been published.
As a result of these experiences, I believe that both MP Rupert Lowe's Rape Gang Inquiry and Ben Habib have contributed to the silencing of my voice as a survivor and have denied me the opportunity to have my story heard by the wider public.
In my view, this has had the effect of shielding from public scrutiny the very institutions and authorities that they publicly claim should be held accountable. It is for this reason that I have chosen to tell my story myself.
For me this is not about my story it is about a voice for Muslim women and girls. Anonymity does not help us when we have no representation, all it does is erase us from the equation. I hope I can be the one to open the door for women and girls like me, to hold it open until we are given an equal and fair voice, to expose what is happening to us, to be given the platforms to be heard, to seek justice, and to prevail.
Below are my public statements addressing my experiences with
@RupertLowe10 ‘s Rape Gang Inquiry and
@benhabib6
