Friday 21st June 2024 is Stop Cyberbullying Day, where everybody can get involved and make a difference both on and off-line. We are asking everybody who cares about cyberbullying, online hate campaigns and the future of the internet to join our growing movement for action and to help us create a diverse internet free from abuse. This year, our focus is on the impact that cyberbullying and online abuse can have on mental health.
