Lydia Forson calls on authorities to stop rising pedophilia cases; urges victims to report abusers

Celebrated Ghanaian movie star, Lydia Forson has raised serious concerns over the rise in pedophilia cases that according to her has drowned the country in sexual abuses

Recently, many media reports have captured sexual exploitation headlines involving some teachers and school heads.

In a post shared on her social media pages, Lydia Forson joined the #JusticeForOchanya to spell out her disgust and displeasure on the matter.

“These stories reveal a disturbing pattern of manipulation and exploitation“

“Teachers wait until the last day of school, just when students are leaving, to make their move. In their minds, you’re no longer a student. It happens in secondary schools and even universities. And if adults struggle to fight back, how much harder is it for a teenager?”.

According to Lydia Forson, most of these reports are left unattended to even when students report the wrong doers.

“I remember an incident in a girls’ school where students reported a teacher. After investigations, it didn’t go anywhere. He continued to teach. Even when you think the girls are ‘interested,’ the law sets an age of consent for a reason; children can’t truly consent, and adults should know better,”

“We have a pedophilia problem in this country. Until we start holding adults accountable, nothing will change,” Lydia Forson warned.
