Over 1000 Teachers Fired For Abuse of Underaged Girls in Kenya

This is a shocking figure: More than 1,000 teachers have been fired for sexually abusing girls over the last two years in Kenya.

According to the government, last year, 600 teachers were dismissed over allegations of sexual abuse, and 500 more have been let go this year.

This represents less than the total of 240,000 teachers in Kenya but it still boggles the mind — and reaffirms allegations of an epidemic of sexual abuse in the country from child and women’s groups.
