Why what we do matters...
Because bullying is a serious issue that can have lasting and damaging effects on people and society itself. Bullying can cause physical and emotional harm, lead to feelings of fear, anxiety, and depression, and can even contribute to suicide.
By raising awareness about the negative impact of bullying, Act Against Bullying can help create safer spaces for everone. We can influence change by way of promoting policies that reduce bullying to occur, educate schools and the public in general about the harm caused by bullying, and provide support for those who have been affected.
Additionally, what we do can promote empathy, kindness, and respect for others. By highlighting the experiences of those who have been bullied and encouraging people to stand up against it, we can help create a culture of tolerance and compassion.
Overall, it matters because it helps to address the root causes of bullying and to create a world where everyone feels valued, respected, and safe.
