And this is in aid of what...?!!? Sorry but this is one of the most ridiculous 'stories' (I say in the loosest term) I have seen here. There is nothing to say what topics will be asked or why it is only muslim women that can attend!!! I just don't get it

So are the police only answerable to the muslim female population?

When you say 'the police' do you mean ALL of them?

More time and wasted money by the police.
If a Muslim woman has a concern, then she should ask or get someone to ask on her behalf if too shy?
What can they possibly have more concerns over?

Any racial crime gets a Police Inspector overseeing it and they are updated on the progress every 7 days.

Does any other victim of crime get this?
Correct, the answer is no. That could be one reason why so many "racial crimes" are happening?

My window was broken? We will get someone along to see you at some point.

My window was broken and I think it was racially motivated. What makes you think it was racially motivated? I just do cause I'm Asian. We will have someone there immediately and an Inspector will be made aware? You will will be updated within 7 days as to the progress of the enquiry.

Two tier policing. Tail wagging the dog.

This obsession with favouring minority groups must stop if we are to achieve proper equality.

Surely anyone can turn up if they want? Just wear the full burqa. It's not like anyone's going to check your credentials, so to speak.

Most people don't have any questions for the Police they just like to question other people opportunity to ask questions. If there's a minority group involved even better!

I don't think Police are only answerable to muslim women. They are answerable to general public and muslim women are part of them

Police often organises these types of events where they invites a particular group of people from general population.

If you went to school you would remember sometimes there were visits by Police constables trying to talk to young peoples and listening their views and suggestions.

Focusing at particular stack holders at a time often makes it easier for organisations to improve their services and it is a common practise nowadays in any modern organisations, Police is certainly one of them.
