Help us to send a delegate to International Bullying Conference for us to inject new knowledge into our anti-bullying initiatives
Nationwide
New Zealand is rated the second-worst for school bullying in the OECD according to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) report released on Newshub on 20 April 2017. The concern was echoed by the Children's Commissioner Judge Andrew Becroft who said bullying rates in New Zealand were unacceptably high and should cause deep shame, "utterly unacceptable and deeply disturbing". On the 2 January 2017, as reported in the news media, another teen suicided as a consequence of bullying. This was preventable. Youth Suicide in New Zealand also has a shockingly high international ranking. As of the 20th August 2016, New Zealand was also reported to have the world's second highest rate of workplace bullying (Reported by Stuff Newspaper).
We are dedicated to highlight and validate the lived experiences of bullying by the individuals at the heart of this initiative. We promote anti-bullying initiatives at workplaces, schools and communities through workshops, awareness presentations, advocacy and consultancy.
