Outrage in Senegal after a 9-year-old girl became pregnant after being raped

In Senegal, the case of a 9-year-old girl who became pregnant after being raped by her Koran teacher has sparked debate and outrage — especially from human rights organizations. In Senegal, victims of rape and incest are required to carry their pregnancy to term, under the threat of two years in prison and a substantial fine. The lack of response from political figures has made activists fear that the law will remain unchanged.
