B.
01. “Bullying is an ongoing (Ab&‡MvBO& = Pjgvb) and deliberate misuse of power in
relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that
intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm.” [Bullying (eywjO&) n‡”Q

over one or more persons who feels unable to stop it from happening. [GUv m¤ú„³

02. In Bangladesh, 35 percent students aged between 13 and 15 reported being

bullied one or more days in 30 days or involved in a physical fight at least once in
12 months in 2014, says a news report. (GKwU msev` cÖwZ‡e`‡b ejv nq, evsjv‡`‡k 2014

03. Globally, half of students aged between 13 and 15 worldwide – around 150
million- report having experienced peer-to-peer violence such as physical fights
or forms (di&g& = aib / iƒc) of bullying, from their peers in and around school,
according to the report released (wijxm&W& = cÖKvwkZ) by UNICEF. (UNICEF KZ©„K

07. “Education is the key to building peaceful societies, and yet, for millions of children
around the world, school itself is not safe,” said UNICEF Executive Director
Henrietta Fore. (UNICEF-Gi wbe©vnx cwiPvjK Henrietta Fore e‡jb, Òwkÿv n‡jv kvwšÍc~Y©

10. On the other hand, 17 million young adolescents in 39 industrialised countries have
admitted bullying others at school, according to the report. (Aciw`‡K, wi‡cvU© Abyhvqx,

11. While (IqvB&j& = hw`I) girls and boys are equally at risk of bullying, girls are more
likely (jvB&K&wj& = m¤¢ve¨) to become victims of psychological forms of bullying and
boys are more at risk of physical violence and threats. (hw`I †g‡qiv Ges †Q‡jiv

01. A few examples of cyber bullying are  causing someone harm by posting unwanted
or private information, threatening a person by sending mean message via email,
social networking websites, text or audio messages, spreading rumours (wiD&gvi& =

03. The Act, inter alia, provides that a person who deliberately publishes, in a
website or in electronic form, any material which is fake and obscene (Ae&mxb& =
Akøxj) or has the effect of corrupting persons who are likely to read, see or hear
the material or causes to prejudice the image of a person or may hurt religious
belief or instigate against any person, then the person publishing the material will
be guilty of an offence under the Act. [inter alia bvgK AvBbwU‡Z cwi®‹vifv‡e ejv n‡q‡Q †h

06. Furthermore, if the harassment (n¨vivm&‡g›U = nqivwb) amounts to criminal
intimidation (threatening someone with injury to his / her person, reputation,
