Abstract

In this chapter, Supporting Young Women Affected by Gang Association and County Lines, Fiona Factor & Abi Billinghurst outline the political and practice context of supporting young women affected by gang association and County Lines drug dealing. It presents the model of practice developed by Abianda, a social enterprise in London working with young women. The authors consider the key practice challenges faced by Abianda when delivering gender specific services, and how the learning gleaned from their combined experience in research and professional practice, could be helpful to policy makers and practitioners working with girls and young women.
