Young school girls are victims of abuse

For Goitse Buang, "The society needs to do something about this new scourge. Some irresponsible men in our society have now turned this school going young girls into their soft targets. To irresponsible men, these schools are not necessarily one of the socialization agents but their playing grounds. The helpless young girls are coerced into such useless relationships through gifts such as money, expensive clothes, jewelry and cell phones. We have talked about this for a long time as a society and we need to act to protect these poor girls".

She is of the view that "we cannot afford to only focus on the abuse of the girl child during the sixteen days of activism on violence against women and children. This tragedy is happening every day. We therefore have to have very strong intervention strategies to deal with it. Lamenting about it and not coming up with laws and different guidance and counseling approaches that will be aimed at tackling this problem will not help us".
