Both affect Anyone: Girls, Boys and anyone can be a victim. Both can create Fear and Silence: Victims may feel ashamed, scared or unsure where to get help. Both can happen anywhere - At home, school, online and in the community. A safe school is a happy school. Awareness is the first step to Change.
