Dame Vera Baird KC's report reveals disturbing treatment of women and girls in police custody by Greater Manchester Police.

Findings include unlawful arrests, degrading strip searches, and traumatizing experiences for victims, with some treated as perpetrators.

The report calls for the phase-out of inappropriate strip searches within six months and the implementation of airport-style screening devices.

A rape survivor recounted being forcibly strip-searched and pinned down by officers, worsening her trauma.

Greater Manchester Police has acknowledged the findings, apologized to those affected, and committed to addressing past failures.

Chief Constable Stephen Watson has pledged urgent action to eliminate degrading strip searches and improve victim support.
