Bullying in school has become worse and is continuing to do so. It has bypassed the physical and now has taken a huge toll on the mental health of those bullied. Students must be educated about the consequences of their actions and practice empathy. Perhaps by understanding the effects such behaviour is having on others, it will encourage them to change and empower those that have been bullied.

Our solution to this problem is organising workshops across schools in Mauritius, for youth ages 12-16 years, to engage them on the concept of dignity, respect, human rights and bullying. This will hopefully create a safe space for victims of bullying to share experiences and advising where to get professional help if necessary.
