Indian Activists have called for the government to protect girls at state-run institutions after 34 girls were violently attacked for standing up to sexual harassers.
The girls, aged between 12 and 14, were attacked by a mob after they fought off sexual advances from a group of boys.
The Supaul district education officer said the girls were ‘shocked’ and ‘in trauma’ after the event.
If you’re in need of sexual assault support, 1800 respect is the national number for 24/7 assistance.
