Nearly one in six children harassed online, according to WHO. “This report is a wake-up call that invites us all to fight against harassment and violence, wherever and whenever they occur,” says WHO director for Europe.
Physical harassment has remained stable: 11% say they were harassed at school last year compared to 10% of children surveyed four years ago. In most territories, cyberbullying peaks at age 11 for boys and 13 for girls. Canada reported a significant gap whereby the least advantaged were the most harassed.
