Sign our Petition to Address Cyber-Bullying as A National Priority To Prevent Harmful Impact On Mental Health Of The Youth.

According to a survey done by internet security company McAfee in 2014, India has the unfortunate distinction of being the #1 nation for reported cyber-bullying globally.

This is a national crisis that demands immediate attention and action.
The impact of cyber-bullying is profound and far-reaching. Victims often suffer from severe anxiety, depression, and a host of other mental health issues. The relentless nature of online abuse can lead to tragic consequences, including self-harm and suicide. These are not just statistics; these are real children whose lives are being irreparably damaged.

Your signature is a powerful step towards creating a safer online environment for our children. It signifies that you care about the mental health and well-being of our youth and that you are committed to making a difference.

Sincerely,
