Nearly one in six children are victims of cyberbullying, according to WHO. Around 16% of children aged 11 to 15 said they had been harassed online in 2022.
Physical harassment has remained stable: 11% say they were harassed at school last year compared to 10% four years ago. The report covers 279,000 children and adolescents from 44 countries and regions across Europe and Central Asia as well as Canada. The highest levels were recorded among boys in Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland and Moldova and the lowest by boys in Spain.
