A Kenyan student killed herself after her teacher “period-shamed” her for staining her uniform during her monthly cycle, according to local outlets.

Jackline Chepngeno, 14, hanged herself Friday after she was allegedly taunted at Kabiangek Primary School for getting her period during class, Kenyan outlet Daily Nation reported.

Her mother, Beatrice Koech, said the teacher called her “dirty” in front of her classmates for getting period stains on her clothes.

“She had nothing to use as a pad,” Keoch told the outlet. “When the blood stained her clothes, she was told to leave the classroom and stand outside.”

The teen girl returned home from the humiliating episode and hanged herself with a piece of cloth, the Daily Nation reported.

“When police arrived at the scene, they found the girl had committed suicide using [cloth] and the body was moved to Kapkatet Hospital mortuary,” Konoin Sub-County Police Commander Alex Shikondi told the outlet.

Shikondi said the circumstances surrounding the teen girl’s death are being investigated, BBC reported.

The school was closed Tuesday after parents protested outside to demand answers about the teacher’s role in the case, the Daily Nation reported.
