Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>A campaign group in Mozambique is calling for tough action to stop the sexual abuse of women and girls in higher education, and has offered to pay the legal costs of students wanting to take their cases to court.<\/p>\n

The Observatory for Women says a recent study it conducted revealed the province of Tete had the worst level of such offences, and says it has spoken to multiple victims who allege they were harassed by one particular professor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not file a complaint with the university \u2013 I am very frustrated because now I have to cross paths with the professor in hallways every day,\u201d one of the alleged victims told the campaign group.<\/p>\n

The alleged abuser is himself taking legal action against the students who had accused him of attacking them, sparking outrage from the Observatory for Women.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf teachers continue to have this practice, we, as a civil society, are available to freely sponsor students to file lawsuits,\u201d the group added.<\/p>\n
