Mims was pleased to co-sign a cross-party letter to the Prime Minister regarding the Grooming Gang National Inquiry.
As the Shadow Minister for Women, Mims was proud to open the debate on Tackling Violence against Women and Girls and Grooming Gangs Scandal earlier in the year. Mims' full speech can be found here:

Mims has also spoken in the Chamber numerous times, especially in the last few months, on Grooming Gangs following the Prime Minister's comments. Mims stated despite what the Prime Minister said, speaking out for rape victims is not jumping on a far-right bandwagon.
It was reported that in up to 50 communities, vulnerable girls who were underage—exploited children—were unbelievably labelled as promiscuous or child prostitutes.

Mims Davies MP said:
“I stand with Robbie Moore MP all the way and was pleased to co-sign this important letter to the Prime Minister.
Labour in Government needs to act and deliver for these women and girls across all communities.
The victims and survivors need to be at the heart of this inquiry and most importantly actually believe and feel they are.
We stand ready to support the inquiry and in getting the survivors justice.”
