Three weeks after the suicide of young Lucas, a victim of harassment in college, the Minister of National Education Pap Ndiaye announced the creation of an observatory for LGBT students in academies.
In an attempt to raise awareness among young people about bullying issues, influencers are also trying to raise awareness.
It's National Suicide Prevention Day.
On this occasion, ministers and influencers are mobilizing against harassment.
While a white march in tribute to Lucas is to be held this Sunday in Épinal, the Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye, says he wants to take a decisive step against homophobia at school.
A scourge which today is taken very seriously.
To "mobilize against all forms of harassment"
Hence the media release of Pap Ndiaye, the Minister of Education, who, in a video posted on social networks, announces the creation of an observatory in the academies.
"We must mobilize against all forms of harassment. We are creating an observatory to raise awareness in the educational community to fight against all forms of violence that LGBT students may suffer."

It is on these social networks that harassment often takes place.
And to reverse this dynamic, some influencers have embarked on the creation of content to raise awareness of harassment.
Among them, the Tiktokeur "A stupid boy", victim of homophobic bullying in college.
He tries today to do prevention.
"If we can help young people in this direction, I am for 100%"
"I entered sixth grade, children judge a lot at that age. I was harassed for a whole year and ten years later, we are at the same conclusion. When I discovered my homosexuality, I I'm a refugee on YouTube. That's why I started on social networks, I try to educate them. If we can help young people in this way, I'm for it 100%."
According to the e-Enfance website, more than one in two young people say they have been the victim of cyberbullying in 2022.
