World Health Organization: 1 out of every 6 students is a victim of cyberbullying

The World Health Organization studied 44 countries in Europe, Central Asia and North America, and based on that, it says that violence in cyberspace has increased since 2018.
According to Deutsche Welle, Hans Kluge, Regional Director of the World Health Organization in Europe, announced in a statement that the new statistics could be a “warning alarm” for the international community.

This report shows that boys are the targets of violence and bullying significantly more than girls. Also, according to this report, the prevalence of internet harassment and bullying has been reported at the age of 13 more than at any other age.

It should be said, bullying, which was previously considered a form of physical violence, has increasingly found virtual forms since the quarantine of Corona and the increase in the use of the Internet.
Harassment in cyberspace can include spreading rumors, threats, publishing private information of people or spreading hatred. Also, creating a fake account to publish false statements by people is also considered a form of virtual violence. “fa fa-circle”/> International International
