Ghanaian schoolgirls have been banned from crossing a river while they are menstruating – and on Tuesdays.
The ban, apparently given by a local river god, has outraged children’s activists, especially as girls must cross the river to reach school.
It means girls in the Upper Denkyira East district, in the Central Region, could miss out on their education.
