No one should be afraid to go to school. Yet for many students around the world, school is a dangerous place.
According to United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Violence in schools – from bullying to sexual harassment and corporal punishment – is sadly common enough to feel inevitable. But it’s not. It’s preventable. And we can all do something about it.
Some facts:
– For millions of students around the world, the school environment is not a safe space to study and grow.
– More than 1 in 3 students aged 13-15 experience bullying.
– Around 1 in 3 students aged 13-15 are involved in physical fight.
