It is no longer news what happens in our institutions when we mention the word sexual harassment. Even a student in secondary school can say a lot based on what he has heard concerning the scourge and its persistent rise just like inflation in our institutions.

Three days ago, The Delta State University sacked six of her lecturers who were tried and found guilty of sexual harassment issues which female students of the institution were their main target. It was shame for them and their families that they would be dismissed in such a degrading way. Though many o them are still out there in our campuses, making life difficult for students who refused to dance to their tune of immorality.

An incident happened some time ago in Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike which led to the indefinite suspension of a lecturer who students knew as a sadist when it comes to the course, Money and Banking. He wanted to eat from the sacred table of another man's holiness and even after attempts of dialogue from the now husband of that lady, this lecturer still refused to let her go with taking her to bed. He was set up and caught in a hotel, unclothed with the lady.

Many ladies are victims of this harassment yet some ladies give themselves freely to this menace that has decayed the once adorable fabrics of our higher institutions. Guys are not left out because l have heard of cases though rare where female lecturers also wanted it with male students. This act has also dragged down to our secondary schools.

It has to stop, we have to maintain our stand on discipline and we can begin and end to this injustice when we as students start focusing on our education, dressing morally and decently and not giving ourselves cheaply to those waiting lecturers.

Have you or someone you know been a victim of sexual assault, lets hear how you/they handled it.
