What twitter is saying about #RyanInternationalSchool

The matter of #RyanInternationaschool is telling… telling of how unperturbed and unaffected we have been with a violent world for #children, where the darkness of abuse, rape and murder makes it way into a space meant to be quite the opposite. If children are murdered and raped in #school…Where really are they safe?

Here’s what twitter had to ask and say that #RyanMustAnswer

Safe space

How will a child reach #school if his journey to school is dangerous? Why will a child want to go to school if her friends bully her? And how will a child learn if her teacher hits her? Learning in school is closely linked to the feeling of safety it provides. Chandrika Rao, mother of a teenage boy, talks about the basics we need to know, learn and demand within a school so that it remains a safe space for our #children. #safeschools#makeschoolsafe #ryaninternationalschool

While these horrifying cases invoke fear and worry, they are also a rude reminder that we, both individually and collectively, need to work every single day to keep children safe in schools and everywhere else.
