Indian school girls on a hunger strike to protest sexual harassment

80 girls from the north Indian state of Haryana have quit school and have been on a week long hunger strike.

The girls claim they are forced to endure sexual harassment everyday because they have to walk 3 kilometers to get to their school in a neighbouring village.

Just last year, a girl was raped on her way to school in the same district.
