GFD condemns BOGISS over disciplinary action against 14-year-old allegedly abused by watchmen
The Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations (GFD) has condemned the handling of a sexual abuse allegation involving a 14-year-old student of Bolgatanga Girls’ Senior High School (BOGISS), describing the school’s disciplinary action against the student as a “textbook case of institutional betrayal.
The Federation said an internal school correspondence dated July 20, 2026, declared the student “guilty of sexual misconduct” and recommended her dismissal under the Ghana Education Service (GES) Code of Conduct.
Among its demands, the GFD is calling for the immediate reversal of all disciplinary sanctions against the student, including the restoration of her boarding status and the removal of the “sexual misconduct” finding from her record.
