Muted cry of stepdaughters of Dowa : vimarsana.com

Jessica – a 14-year-old Standard 5 pupil at one of the public schools in Traditional Authority (T/A) Msakambewa in Dowa – is torn apart.
Jessica, whose real name we have concealed on ethical grounds, wants to be a teacher when she completes her education.
But now she faces a shattered future because her 45-year-old stepfather – whom she trusted and was supposed to protect her from preying and lustful men – is now demanding sex from her as a precondition for him to continue supporting her education.
