Tears in our safety net


SCHOOLS are seen as a safe space for our children to learn and develop so naturally when a 17-year-old was sexually harassed for daring to call out her Physical and Health Education teacher for joking about rape during a lesson, it sparked a nationwide outrage.

Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam, who lodged a police report against the teacher and a fellow student who threatened to rape her, received a lot of support from the public for wanting to put an end to rape culture, but there were some who were angry at her for having the audacity to bring shame to her teacher and school.
