Combating Bullying - Through the Lens of a 13-Year-Old Survivor

This 90-minute session offered a unique opportunity to hear directly from Seher Pahade, a trailblazing 13-year-old teenager who is an inspiration for change. She is an embodiment of a compassionate and driven individual committed to forging a brighter future. Seher's heart resonates with the cause of child rights, fueled by her personal experience as a victim of bullying. This adversity transformed her into a resilient advocate, refusing to be a bystander and instead emerging as an upstander in situations that challenge even adults. Please listen as we engage the voice of youth by understanding methods, strategies and interventions to prevent all forms of bullying. Learn ways to create a safe physical, emotional and psychological space for children from the perspective of a young survivor. Having battled through toxic peers and bullies herself, Seher will be able to provide a clear understanding of how it really affects the victim. She will also be able to provide personal insight on how adult leaders can protect a child from experiencing bullying. Children look up to professionals from all fields of practice, parents, teachers, community leaders, doctors and important stakeholders in every aspect of their lives and it is our responsibility to protect children from bullying and its lasting effects.
