Kenyan Students Protest Unceasing Bouts Of Rape Cases
Students of Lugulu Girls High School in Kenya have taken to the streets to stage a demonstration against unyielding sexual assaults by their teachers.
Eko Hot Blog understands that the students took to the streets wielding leaves in their hands to protest against the many ‘buried’ cases of rape in the school by the school principal.
In a video which has now gone viral, the students are seen heading to the Webuye police station in the state after their attempt to lodge their case with the ministry of education in Webuye was foiled.

According to the young girls, many of them have violated sexually by teachers and residents of the neighbouring communities. The girls disclosed that the most recent incident was witnessed by students but the Principal tried to bury the incident by instructing the students to keep mum over what was witnessed.
They further alleged that the sexual harassments has been going on for a good while and victims always get silenced by the school authorities while the male teacher is sometimes transferred to a different school without being made to face repercussions.
The students, who could no longer tolerate the harassments, decided to go public with their plight by staging a protest to announce this injustice to the world.
