SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. Box, p. 5
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Protecting children from bullying is not just an ethical imperative or a laudable aim of public health or social policy; it is a question of human rights. Bullying is a hurtful and aggressive pattern of behaviour that is often part of a continuum, a torment that shapes children's lives at different moments and in different settings, from the schoolyard to the neighbourhood and, increasingly, into the online world.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children
