Safety of schoolgirls

A string of recent reports of schoolgirls allegedly being molested, or even raped, by their teachers or school principals exposes the lack of protection for girls in schools.
After reports that a school principal in Wanning, southern Hainan province, and a local property administration employee took six schoolgirls, aged between 11 and 14, to hotel rooms on May 8, fierce public outrage immediately swept across the country.
Although the two men have been arrested after the exposure of the case and local prosecutors have already filed a lawsuit against them on charges of rape, the enormous repercussions of the unbelievable scandal are far from over.
