Police officers suspected of making 30 pupils pregnant

The story published in the Zambia media that law enforcment officers (Police)made 30 pupils at Limulunga rural High School where they camped was shocking, and at the same time sickening http://www.lusakatimes.com/2012/03/17/police-officers-suspected-making-30-pupils-pregnant-mongu-riots/ Why would such events happen on innocent young girls left vulerable to these men? That is why at CHBC-SLA, we continue to do what we do- Helping young adolescent girls with basic education on how to become reslient in these difficult times of poverty and inequality. Probably these young girls were promised "goodies" or were forced to have sex. Whatever the reason, we need to help our young girls out of this situation and give them the skills to do so. Young girls/adolescent girls have the resilience to overcome such pressure; but inorder for them to do so, it has to come from their homes/parents. We need to continue providing support services to our children, even just spending a few hours a day talking to them.

Thank you
