SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2016, para. 78
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Children reflected on their perceptions and experience of bullying and cyberbullying, discussed its root causes and identified strategic measures for prevention and response. They recognized the particular challenges faced at school, in the school bus and online, while highlighting that bullying was often part of a painful continuum of children's exposure to violence, stating: Listen to our voice: violence hurts and it lasts … Urgent action is needed to stop it; violence does not teach good behaviour; being a good model and promoting non-violence convey a good example for our lives; use dialogue and mediation before you let violence occur! Help us learn about prevention and our rights; help those who care for us so that they can help us better; and don't forget: legislation is important and everyone needs to know it and respect it.
