Human Rights Watch has just published a report detailing sexual violence of what they call "unimaginable brutality" against thousands of young girls and women in Sierra Leone during the armed conflict - with the widespread use of rape as a method of torture.
This report comes at a time when in this country various organisations say there's a significant rise in the number of girls being referred to them after suffering extreme sexual violence in their home countries. The girls and women are asylum seekers and some are as young as 11. They believe that the Home Office and the courts are brushing the experiences of these women aside. Reporter Angela Robson investigates and takes a look at the way that they're treated by immigration when they arrive in this country. Followed by a statement from the Home Office.
