The Need:

• 1 in 3 kids face bias at school

• 30% of youth admit to taking part in identity-based bullying

• 70% of youth have witnessed bias incidents

When bystanders step in and stand up, bullying stops within 10 seconds 57% of the time. 

No single factor puts a child at risk of being bullied and bullying can happen anywhere: cities, suburbs, rural areas.

Interrupting bias incidents and bullying often prevents escalation.  It also leads to better outcomes for all learners.
