Today is World Anti-Bullying and Bullying Day

Every May 2 International Day Against Bullying or Harassment in School in order to raise awareness of the risk of bullying by peers and peers around the world for children and adolescents.

According to data published by the Statistical Institute of UNESCO (IEU), nearly a third of the world’s teens have been bullied recently. Data shows that bullying affects young people everywhere, in all regions and in countries with different income levels.

Specifically in Argentina, Law 26,892 entitled “Law on Bullying” regulates coexistence in schools and seeks to reduce conflict in the educational community. In this way, it establishes criteria for dealing with them in schools at all levels of the national education system.

Isha Escribano is a trans journalist, musician and doctor who fought for respect in choosing her identity. Today it’s one of the representatives of respect for diversity, equity and inclusion: “Little by little, we realize that the world does not need people to save it, but to shine and be happy to be who they are”, he expressed.

“It doesn’t matter where you were born. Not what you dreamed of or said. Nothing more transversal than the desire to flee the physical, psychic and spiritual torture which they apply to you to be who you are. To think how you think. To dress as you dress. By God. In front of which you kneel “Isha said.

Law 26.892 defines intimidation as “physical or psychological harassment that classmates do to another student” and its principles are: respect for the dignity and privacy of individuals, the recognition of their values, beliefs and identities and the rejection of all forms of discrimination, harassment, violence and exclusion among members of the educational community, be it virtual or other means of communication.

In this sense, Escribano presents a disturbing statistic: “Only 15% of people say they love and accept themselves as they are. From personal experience, I can say that self-acceptance is crucial for a more loving, diverse, inclusive and, why not, fun society“, He proposed.

In this sense, the Anti-bullying law, proposes to use dialogue to identify and resolve coexistence problems, guarantee the right to a peaceful life free from physical and psychological violence, avoid discrimination and promote a culture of peace by eradicating all forms of physical or psychological violence.

Beyond the legal framework, putting an end to harassment is a task for all of us. For many fathers, mothers, and caregivers, bullying or harassment is considered “childish things”, however, the problem goes further and requires greater commitment and participation from all parties involved.

“The time has come to give importance to all the PEOPLE who are behind each profile, that we realize that behind each story there is a person of flesh and blood, who laughs, cries, enjoys and suffers, human beings with feelings “ and I add: “Let’s raise our voices to stop the abuse on social media. It doesn’t matter whether we are anonymous, celebrities, athletes, referees or game enthusiasts, even someone outside of it all, no matter what race, religion, ideology or gender … No one deserves to be. ‘to be mistreated or insulted “, Hill.
