OkayGhana tweeted an excerpt of an explicit audio recording of Battor Senior High School head teacher having what it described as 'phone s*x' with a student. The tweet of the video did not include any context or details of the actual story. The tweet, lack of context, detail or seriousness treated a serious issue like entertainment or sensationalism. The thread that followed had Tweeters laughing, shaming and ridiculing the young girl student.

This is an example of what must change when the media reports stories of s*xual abuse.

Their approach can inform and transform society and/or retraumatize victims of such acts. The latter is what OkayGhana did. And so the CASA campaign plus our partner organizations OdodowGH; YAMGhana and Drama Queens hit the tweets to tell OkayGhana, it was not okay.

Feel free to add your voice.

We congratulate GES for the bold step taken for interdicting nine teachers of Ejisuman Senior High School for their alleged involvement in a s*xual abuse scandal and for further efforts to haul them before another disciplinary committee.

9 teachers indicted in Ejisuman SHS s*x scandal At least nine teachers at the Ejisuman Senior High School (SHS) have been interdicted following alleged s*xual abuse of female students.

In December 2017, headlines appeared of students in the Assin area alleging their teachers were s*xually harassing them for unpaid school fees and extorting students for s*x in exchange of grades. The students came from Assin Manso SHS, Nyankomasi SHS, Obiri Yeboah SHS, Assin State College, and Assin North Community Day School. They claim the boarders are particular victims at end of term exams and over lack of money for necessities. The Central Region also had a rising number of teenage pregnancies. In December 2017, the Central Regional Director of the Department of Gender, Mrs. Thywill Eyra Kpe said of the data collected from 5,112 adolescent girls regarding who was responsible for their pregnancies, 301 were primary and secondary school teachers.

Time to speak up. Time to bring "those" teachers to book.
