In November 2020, on the International Day against Violence and Bullying in Schools, Human Rights Watch called on governments around the world to urgently step up their efforts to ensure the safety of students in schools and on online platforms.
According to the United Nations agencies, more than 246 million children annually face gender-based violence in or around schools, and one out of three students is bullied and physically abused.
