A new report published by Amnesty International "Safe Schools - Every Girls Right" has shown that thousands of girls across the world fear going to school for fear of sexual harassment; violent attacks, or bullying. The report describes how even in some Islamic countries schools for Girls have actually been burnt down.

thanks for sharing this, Lynn
I remember standing in the line at the door waiting for the Vice-Principal Mr McDowell to open the doors and let us all in, & this boy grabbed my ass & laughed like hell. I turned around & punched him so hard he fell down, & once he was down I stomped on his nuts.
Guess who got suspended?
Happy St Paddy's Day, my friend! :-)
I wonder what he turned out like - I've had friends from school who I met years later and actually really liked the
way they grew up! One friend of mine, Michael, I worked with years later and not only did he turn into a amazingly
handsome guy, but he becme one of my friends - I actually hated him in school as I gre up and he grew up
(he travelled the world, and became a man as it were) I thought the guy was one of the nicest and most
cosiderate people I've ever met!
But alas as for sexism in schools - it still exists, just as juvenile intolerance of gays and lesbians, different
religions, and gender. I guess for children it's a part of growing up - but it would be a "uptopia" if every
parent stressed the importance of loving each person who appears to their child as different.
As for adults and Governments - their is no excuse for prejudice of any kind!
