BULLYING:
A HUMAN RIGHTS
ISSUE
When children are victimized, whether the perpetrator is an adult or a peer, their rights
are being violated. Every human deserves and is entitled to respect and protection from
discrimination and harassment. As a vulnerable population within society, children are
at an increased risk for victimization and depend on adults to protect them and advocate
for their human rights.
