Traditional leaders in Ghana have banned school girls from crossing a river every Tuesdays and during their menstruating period in other not to provoke the gods in the community

According to reports, the ban was given by a local river god that menstruating girls should desist from crossing the River Ofin, in the Upper Denkyira East district, in the Central Region.

The ban has outraged children’s activists, because the girls could miss out on their education since they apply the river to get to their schools.
