Schoolgirls across the country are sexually abused and harassed almost daily by teachers and schoolboys. This was according to a Human Rights Watch report in 2001 - and in 2007 the situation remains the same. According to a presentation by Danaline Franzman of the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), on behalf of Judith Cohen, teenage girls in different provinces and townships have similar experiences at school.
