Abstract: 
This study - conducted with adolescent girls between the ages 13 - 17 - suggests that efforts to address gender based violence against girls are not a priority. Findings from 17 focus group discussions with adolescent girls at nine Gauteng schools suggest that minimal to no intervention efforts are underway at schools or in communities; participants appeared frustrated and despondent at the lack of services available to them. This lack of services is startling in light of findings from this study which highlights a disturbing prevalence of sexual harassment at school as well as an alarmingly high incidence of physical and sexual violence in the lives of adolescent girls.

The sad truth is, I don’t have the time or luxury. The more you look at it, the worse it is in terms of fairness.” While Emily’s story is extreme, Hirshman has seen plenty of women like her. “Once you bind your feet like that, it’s very difficult to get yourself back to the emancipated place you were at,” she says.
