BullyFree is an international organisation based in Geneva, dedicated to the prevention of bullying in all its forms and across all social contexts. Bullying is not confined to a single environment; it occurs wherever power imbalances, silence, or exclusion exist.
Bullying can occur within the home environment in the form of verbal humiliation, emotional neglect, excessive control, or harmful sibling behaviour. When unaddressed, it undermines emotional security and self-worth.
Prevention at home requires awareness, respectful communication, empathy, and positive parenting practices.
Educational institutions are common settings for bullying, including verbal abuse, social exclusion, intimidation, discrimination, or misuse of authority. Such behaviour affects mental health, learning outcomes, and long-term development.
Safe learning environments depend on awareness, accountability, and clear reporting mechanisms that protect students’ mental health and development.
Workplace bullying may include harassment, intimidation, exclusion, or abuse of power, negatively affecting mental well-being, productivity, and organisational culture.
Prevention requires leadership commitment, ethical policies, and a culture of respect and psychological safety.
Bullying in public spaces occurs in streets, transport systems, and community environments, often driven by prejudice or discrimination.
Community awareness and bystander responsibility are essential to ensure inclusive and safe public spaces.
Cyberbullying takes place through social media, messaging platforms, and online forums. It can be persistent, anonymous, and wide-reaching.
Preventing digital bullying requires online responsibility, education, accountability, and timely supportive responses.
BullyFree works to address bullying across all environments through awareness, prevention, and shared responsibility. Our goal is to ensure that homes, institutions, workplaces, public spaces, and digital platforms uphold dignity, inclusion, and respect—creating a world that is truly BullyFree.
