Don’t Fail Us: Falastin from Kenya is speaking out against bullying and discrimination in schools
Content warning: discussion of violence and discriminatory actions
Young people from around the world have come together to co-produce a new creative film, titled ‘Don’t Fail Us’, to share their experiences of violence in and around school and demand action from world leaders to end violence and transform education systems. As a part of this, each young person has developed their own in-depth film, sharing their journey and calls to action.
Falastin from Kenya shares her experience of discrimination and bullying by students, with her school teachers failing to take action. She is calling for more inclusive schooling and for bullying to be addressed in the curriculum.
“The perfect school for me is where there is no bullying, one where people will think differently, dress differently and look differently.”
Her experiences are unique but they reflect the global reality that hundreds of millions of young people experience violence in and around school every year. Act now to transform education and make it safe to learn. Join the Safe to Learn Call to Action.
