Discussion Held under the “Draw the Line – Put a Stop to It” Initiative

A discussion was organised under the “Draw the Line – Put a Stop to It” initiative to strengthen efforts to prevent and address bullying and to promote closer collaboration among responsible institutions, civil society organisations, media, and other stakeholders.

As part of the event, the MONFEMNET National Network facilitated the “Circle of Influence” participatory exercise.

Through the exercise, participants explored how people’s thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and actions are shaped by those around them, and how individuals and institutions can, in turn, influence others. The activity also encouraged participants to look beyond individual behaviour and consider bullying within a broader social and systemic context.

The discussion provided an opportunity for participating stakeholders to exchange perspectives, reflect on their respective roles, and consider how stronger coordination can contribute to more effective prevention and response.

MONFEMNET extends its appreciation to All for Education Mongolia, Beautiful Hearts Against Sexual Violence NGO, NTV News, and all participating stakeholders for their collaboration in implementing this timely initiative.

Preventing and addressing bullying requires sustained and coordinated action. Continued cooperation among institutions, civil society, communities, media, and other stakeholders remains essential to creating safer and more supportive environments for everyone.
