December 2018
In December 2018, Rising Flame launched its first research with national scope, “The Big Bully.”
We know that persons with disabilities in India face systematic exclusions, discrimination, abuse and bullying in schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutes. Bullies and victims of bullying alike are often at greater risk for mental health and behavioural issues than those children who are not bullies or were not bullied.
Our research objectives are:
● To amplify the voices of people with disabilities in accounts of bullying faced at integrated and special education institutes;
● To understand the impact of bullying on the mental health of people with disabilities;
● To explore the effects of bullying on the continuation of educational pursuits for people with disabilities;
● To fill a knowledge gap in this area with data that can inform training, advocacy, and campaigns aimed at addressing bullying.
