Harassment, Discrimination and Bullying are pervasive issues that affect individuals across the World in various
settings be it schools, workplaces, homes, public spaces or online platforms.
0 %
one in five people in employment experienced violence and harassment at work
0 %
employed individuals said they experienced psychological violence and harassment in their working life
0 %
faced physical violence and harassment, with more men than women experiencing this
Many may not fully understand the different forms of harassment, their impact on individuals, or the long-term consequences. Further, such topics are considered ‘taboo’ topics across several parts of the world making it further difficult to bring such issues to the forefront.
