Combating bullying through awareness, actions, and empowerment According to Unesco, bullying affects 23 out of every 100 Bangladeshi school children. Bullying is not just an issue in Bangladesh; it is one of the most deviant behaviours among children and teenagers worldwide. Despite various interventions and anti-bullying measures, Unesco reports that bullying is still one of the most pervasive issues at schools.While bullying has a disproportionate impact on pupils, evidence suggests that girls and students with disabilities are more vulnerable.
