Obuasi SHTS abuse: Sanction all officials who failed to act – Moving Masculinity

Moving Masculinity founder Esther Amarh has called for sanctions against all officials who failed to act on allegations of sexual abuse at Obuasi Senior High Technical School. Following a JoyNews investigation by Manasseh Azure Awuni, it was revealed that municipal authorities, education officials, and other influential figures had received reports about the abuse months before the headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai, was suspended.

Amarh argues that accountability must extend beyond the suspended headmaster to every institution and official who received complaints but failed to take appropriate action to protect the students. She warns that without sanctions, similar incidents will continue to occur in schools and suggests that officials found to have failed in their duties should face consequences that could affect their salaries and promotion prospects.
