We must teach boys not to rape and make perpetrators of violence accountable for their unacceptable behaviour. Photos: Unsplash Rape is a crime. It is certainly not fodder for jokes and threats about rape should never be taken lightly. However, when a 17-year-old student recently highlighted inappropriate comments and “jokes” about rape made by a teacher, she was not only gaslighted on social media but threatened with rape by a male schoolmate. Though shaken by the threat, Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam isn’t backing down. Supported by her father, she has lodged two police reports, on the teacher’s alleged comments and the threat to her safety that she received. She’s also continued to be vocal in the media and on her own social media platforms about the issue and has even started a hashtag campaign, #makeschoolasaferplace, determined to spearhead change in schools.
