The fact that the victims' are between 12 and 15 years age means we have a situation on our hands. These statistics come hot on the heels of another report that indicates rampant teenage pregnancy in Ngamiland where an 11-year-old has given birth. Besides, we have recently carried worrying reports of sexual molestation of the girl-child by men with fingers pointing at the police and government agencies for failing to arrest the situation.
And lest we forget, up to 82 children are said to have died after the recent outbreak of diarrhoea in the country. It is a cinch that a majority in the grim statistics are girls.
