Young girls from Sakinaka are scared of attending school owing to ongoing harassment by a group of minor boys from the adjoining slums while they pass through the area. Despite multiple complaints, the local police have said they are constrained by the legal limitations of taking action against minors.
The girls’ families have documented incidents, and have sought justice through the high court. Despite parental confrontation and video threats, the harassers remain unaffected. The girls continue to suffer every day with lewd gestures and remarks passed by the group of boys who stand outside the school compound when the girls leave for home.
