He has been detained and sent to a child observation home. The youth is in judicial custody. The incident took place when the girl's father was out for work and her mother had gone to the neighborhood. The accused entered the house and the youth raped her. Both the accused fled after threatening the girl not to reveal the incident to anyone. The victim kept quiet for the night but broke down the next morning when her mother kept asking her why she was so quiet and scared. After the girl confided in her parents, they went to police on Saturday following which a medical examination of the girl was conducted and a case was registered after the rape was confirmed. Police recorded the victim's statement and formed a team to arrest the accused.

Actions to Help Prevent and Stop Sexual Harassment of Young People 1. Check the policy at your childrens schools and youth programs about sexual harassment. Encourage middle and high schools to do the surveys and follow the policy recommendations of the AAUW or another resource. 2. Make sure that pre-teens and teens know what kinds of behavior are considered sexual harassment. Review your schools sexual harassment prevention policy with students and involve them in defining this policy with words and examples that make sense to them.

3. Make it clear that you do not consider this behavior to be acceptable and that you want to know if it happens to them or to other kids in their school or youth group. Avoid laughing at sexist or homophobic jokes. Intervene to stop sexual harassment instead of overlooking it. Instead of lecturing young people, make them practice acting respectfully and speaking up. Make sure that young people know that they have the right to be treated with respect and the responsibility to treat others with respect. 4. Ask young people to notice when sexist or homophobic language or images are used in the media, in conversations, in activities, and in books. Help them find people who dont fit these negative stereotypes. 5. Help young people become informed consumers of the media. Ask schools to provide media education or use these resources yourself. 6. As they start to become interested in each other sexually, ask young people to tell you what kinds of attention are welcome and what are unwelcome. Remind them that they have the right to feel any way they do feel, and that they have the responsibility to act in a way that is respectful to other people. 7. Give young people the opportunity to practice Boundary-Setting skills and Advocacy skills in the context of sexual harassment. 8. When young people come to you for help, listen to the whole story, brainstorm solutions, and help them make a plan of action. If the sexual harassment does not stop, intervene with the adults who are supervising.
