This report highlights the problem of sexual violence and harassment against school girls in South Africa. It reveals that female school children are being subjected to gender discrimination in the form of sexual harassment regularly regardless of ethnicity or socio-economic status. The study calls for gender equality in the school environment and argues that toleration of these abuses will continue to prevent girls from realizing their right to education and equal protection under the law.
