Stop Cyberbullying Day 2025 is here, and there has never been a better time to highlight the very best of the internet when it is used for good and raise awareness of the potential dangers when it's not.
Last year's event saw a range of initiatives take place in all corners of the world, inspiring people to consider the power that our words carry and to help others in need. Participants included a range of internet users, multinational companies, public figures, and governments - all expressing their commitment to a safer, more inclusive internet.
As our lives become even more dependent on technology, our annual Stop Cyberbullying Day event serves as an important reminder that although the internet and social media have enhanced our lives in many ways, they have also brought about lots of new risks and dangers that people of all ages and abilities need to be aware of.
