Helplines in Zimbabwe.

Are you the victim of bullying and harassment? Reach out to a Zimbabwe hotline today.

Bullying affects children and adults at home, school, work and online, making victims feel trapped, isolated and alone. If you’ve ever been the victim of bullying, you need not suffer in silence. There are 1 helplines in Zimbabwe where you can get the support and understanding you deserve. These are some common experiences of people being bullied:

• You have had rumours spread about you, or frequently been blamed for things you didn’t do.
• You have been trolled, insulted or humiliated on social media.
• Others have openly left you out of friendship groups and activities in a shaming way.
• Someone has shared private, negative, false or harmful pictures, content or rumours about you.
• A popular or forceful person has told others not to be friends with you.
• One or more people have repeatedly sworn at, called names, taunted or physically harassed you.
• Someone has made repeated negative comments about your appearance, culture, family, lifestyle or behaviour.
• Others have victimised you through cyber-bullying on social media, gaming platforms and online forums.

These are all ways in which bullies might try to boost their status at your expense, making you feel shamed, isolated and small. Yet, bullying in no way reflects who you truly are, what you’re capable of achieving, how you actually look, or how much you are valued by others.

The victims of bullying are always innocent, and bullying is never deserved. Although you may feel trapped, alone or incapable, there are people in Zimbabwe who care and can provide you support. Helpline volunteers and counselors will offer you a listening ear and will work through difficult emotions with you.
