Noonkoir Girls School Closed Over Alleged Cases of Lesbianism

Noonkoir Girls Secondary School in Kajiado, Kenya, has been shut down due to reports of alleged cases of lesbianism among the students.

Parents who spoke to the Star newspaper on Thursday accused the school administration of being unresponsive as their children were allegedly subjected to harassment and violence by those trying to force them to join a supposed lesbianism club.

According to one parent, the girls were left unsupervised during the Easter holiday without any teachers or matrons. The situation reportedly worsened on a Saturday night during the holiday when unidentified men entered the school through a porous fence, raising concerns about the safety and security of the students.

Some of the students had reportedly complained to the teachers about the beatings they received from their fellow students who were allegedly involved in the lesbianism club. However, the teachers reportedly told them that those accused of lesbianism had the right to education as well.

As tensions escalated, the school principal, Florence Kimeu, sent the girls home on Thursday, but attempts to reach her for clarification were unsuccessful as messages and calls went unanswered.

The county director of education, Martin Cheruyot, stated that he was informed that the girls were sent home on Thursday evening, but he did not have details about the reasons behind the school closure. He expressed his intention to meet with the school’s board of management to investigate the allegations of beatings and lesbianism.

Cheruyot emphasized that the situation was not trivial and needed prompt action to address before it escalated further. The closure of Noonkoir Girls Secondary School has raised concerns about the welfare and safety of the students, as well as the need for effective measures to address issues related to harassment, violence, and discrimination in educational institutions.
