Anna Halman (June 21 1992 - August 21 2006) was a teenage student from Kiełpino Górne who attended Gymnasium #2 in Gdansk.

On August 20 2006 she was the victim of a sexual assault in her classroom in the teacher's absence. Five boys pulled down her pants, groped her and pretended to rape her while one boy filmed the incident with his mobile phone. The following day she committed suicide. She was 14 years old. Her story was carried by the media, and she was known as Anna or Ania (an affectionate diminutive of the name Anna) until her full name was revealed.

In response to the incident and the scandal it caused, the Polish Minister of Education, Roman Giertych, launched a Zero Tolerance school reform. Under this plan, teachers would have the legal status of civil servants, making violent crimes against them punishable by higher penalties. Head teachers will be, in theory, able to send aggressive pupils to perform community service and these students' parents may also be fined. Teachers who fail to report violent acts in school could face a prison sentence.

This plan has been criticized by psychologists stating that more severe punishments won't fix the real problem.
