SEXUAL ASSAULTS AND THE DEAF GIRL CHILD
Morning everyone today we will discussed in the matter faced deaf girls in matter of sexual assault,from last year we have heard several cases that most deaf girls from 12 to 17 years experiences this matter through raping and personal i have understand that such things happened due to lack of enough information regards their health and it begin at home where parents have no time to learn sign language .
And also make the deaf girls not enjoying stay at home ,so they went outside and meet friends who are able to understanding them better this matter is concerned with poor education system for the deaf pupils and students as the government did not provided skill teachers for special needs many normally schools in Kenya having health education sessions both through media and school clubs but to those with disability especially hard of hearing and the deaf miss this information due to poor access to information systems. They are now multiple discriminated by the society as now the African society believes that the disabled girl child is a virgin thus if they use them it will help them to prevent themselves against dangerous diseases like STI ,HIV /AIDS and other that related to sexual intercourse.
Let us work together to educated them on sexual and health issue to make them stand by themselves and SAY NO TO RAPE!

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
Article 23 is specifically concerned with disabled children, in recognition of their vulnerability to segregation and discrimination. It states:
‘(1) States Parties recognize that a mentally or physically disabled child should enjoy a full and decent life, in conditions which ensure dignity, promote self-reliance and facilitate the child’s active participation in the community.(2) States Parties recognize the right of the disabled child to special care….
(3) Recognizing the special needs of a disabled child, assistance extended in accordance with paragraph 2 of the present article … shall be designed to ensure that the disabled child has effective access to and receives education, training, health care services, rehabilitation services, preparation for employment and recreation opportunities in a manner conducive to the child’s achieving the fullest possible social integration and individual development, including his or her cultural and spiritual development….Lets support those deaf girls child through talents as part of Education Gina Auma made it.
Support Deaf Girls' Education
The "age of majority" is the legal age established under state law at which an individual is no longer a minor and, as a young adult, has the right and responsibility to make certain legal choices that adults make. Thus, when people use the term age of majority, they are generally referring to when a young person reaches the age where one is considered to be an adult. In some states, child support stops when a child is 18 or graduates from high school, in others, it stops at 21 (For more information, visit Termination of Support- Age of Majority). The majority of states use 18 as the age of majority (in cases where the youth is still in high school the age of majority may extend beyond 18). States may order support while a child is in college (For more information, visit Termination of Support- College Support Beyond the Age of Majority).
An exception to the rule that parents' duty to support their children ends at the children's majority occurs when the child is disabled. In cases where the child is Deaf,disabled, mentally or physically, and therefore unable to support himself/herself upon reaching the age of majority most states have adopted the rule that parents have a duty to support their adult Deaf children. Most often, courts define "disability" in economic terms, i.e., the inability of the adult disabled child to adequately care for himself/herself by earning a living by reason of Deafness,mental or physical infirmity. States differ as to whether support for an adult disabled child is determined by the state's child support guidelines or by the needs of the child as balanced by the parents' ability to provide support.And in the same case disabled girls facing multiple discrimination due to lack of support.Let us do this by start supporting Deaf girl child and adult as to change their lives through education.
