The Zonta Clubs of Ghana have issued a strong demand for the Ministry of Education to take immediate and decisive action against sexual abuse in schools. In a statement, the clubs emphasized that schools should be safe environments for learning and growth, not places where children are exploited by those entrusted with their care.
They called for prompt, independent investigations into all allegations, swift and appropriate punishment for perpetrators, and robust protection and support for victims. The clubs stressed that no one's position or professional connections should grant them immunity from justice, and that school authorities must be held accountable for failing to respond to credible reports of abuse.
Their message is clear: zero tolerance for child sexual abuse in educational institutions, and a commitment to ensuring that survivors receive justice, dignity, and support.
