The problem at the educational institution has taken a serious turn. According to one parent, as voiced on Birinchi Radio, the male and female restrooms at the school are modern, but the lack of doors in the stalls creates psychological discomfort for children. Teenage girls are embarrassed to use the toilets due to the lack of privacy, while younger students are becoming victims of bullying.
Bullying and mobile phone filming
In addition to technical issues, cases of digital violence are being recorded at the school. High school students use mobile phones to film primary school students using the toilets and distribute the footage in WhatsApp groups. This is accompanied by mockery and psychological pressure on the children.
"There is an acute problem with the toilets at School No. 84. The restrooms are modern and convenient, but the stalls have no doors. Teenage girls cannot go in there during menstruation; they are embarrassed."
Mayor's Office reaction
Bishkek Deputy Mayor Rakhat Musaeva stated that filming children on phones and distributing such materials via messengers is a form of violence. She promised to discuss the situation with the school administration. Regarding the installation of doors, the decision depends on budgetary capabilities.
The project implementation timeline depends on funding:
- By the end of the current year — if budget funds allow
- In 2027 — if the issue is included in the expenditure estimates for that period
Context
School No. 84 is located in the Ak-Orgo residential area of Bishkek. Bishkek Deputy Mayor Rakhat Musaeva oversees matters related to the activities of city services and the capital's infrastructure.
