About this episode

Last week a professor in Morocco was jailed for two years. He had been found guilty of indecent behaviour and sexual harassment. Women in Morocco have been sharing their stories. They say this kind of behaviour is widespread. And this case may sound familiar if you’re in West Africa. Two years ago, the BBC uncovered evidence of sexual harassment by professors at some universities in Ghana and Nigeria. They have been removed from their posts after internal investigations.
