The bad

The South African Human right and gender commission members said that the fact that girls have lie down and open their legs for someone to inspect them is a total discrimination of rights of privacy and integrity, and having their results being publicly disclosed is a violation of human rights.

The article also states that these tests use fear as their weapon as girls will be scared should they fail the testing as their peers will call them rotten potatoes. The KwaZulu  Natal health department also is concerned  for the girl’s health as their testers proceed from one girl to the other without proper cleaning and disinfectants.
