Lately, it has come to Not Guilty's attention the close relationship between bullying and sexual abuse in Middle school. It starts with bullying, and if not tackled will -in many cases- lead to sexual abuse as a form of bullying.
Not Guilty rose to the need, and to the fact that there is no other nonprofit that tackles bullying in schools.
Dr. Laila Risgallah, being the entrepreneur that she is, put together an anti-bullying program for kids aged 5-18 which was a big success. In fact, getting into schools with an anti-bullying curriculum is much easier than getting in with an anti-sexual abuse curriculum that puts schools on the defensive for some reason. At the end of the training, we tackle subjects such as anger and anger management tools for children and teens. Amazingly many confessed they had no idea that telling about their anger issues would make them feel so free.
In the past three months, we have trained 300 students with the material. Each time tweaking it a little bit more.
We put a little booklet together for takeaway on do's and dont's in anger.
We also tackle the issue of passive bystanders to bullying.
Now, we are working with the ministry of communication in Egypt to put Together a program for cyberbullying.
Your contributions make this battle we are fighting against bullying and sexual abuse all the more possible.
Thank you.
