# Call for Change in Law as Grooming Gang Victims 'Denied Compensation'
A Labour MP is advocating for legislative reforms aimed at ensuring that victims of grooming gangs receive the compensation they deserve. This push follows widespread concerns that many individuals who have endured such horrific experiences are currently being denied financial restitution.
Labour MP Sarah Champion is leading the call for this crucial change, reiterating the need for fair treatment of victims. “These people, who are very clearly recognised as victims and survivors, aren't getting the money that's owed to them,” she stated, highlighting the injustices faced by those affected.
The current legal framework presents significant barriers that prevent victims from claiming the compensation they are entitled to. In response to these challenges, firms like Oakwood Solicitors have asserted that there should be “no barrier to a claim.” This sentiment reflects a growing consensus that reforming the system is essential for justice and support for victims.
The situation has drawn public attention, indicating a pressing need for lawmakers to act decisively in rectifying these inequalities.
