A GLOBAL CRISIS AFFECTING
THE NEXT GENERATION
Peer-to-peer violence in schools, driven by bullying, unresolved conflicts, entrenched social hierarchies, and ingrained misogyny, is not just a
disciplinary issue - it’s a critical societal problem.
This violence results in severe psychological and physical harm, leads to
academic disengagement, and perpetuates cycles of aggression.
Addressing this issue is not just about improving individual outcomes -
it's about fostering a safer, more productive society.
