Parliament on Wednesday passed into
law a bill aimed at fighting bullying and cyber-bullying.
The new law more precisely defines bullying as "repeated
physical or psychological aggression or harassment by an
individual or group against one or more minors."
It lays down that all schools must draw up a code of prevention
of bullying and a psychological support service.
It also envisages rehabilitation courses and institutes a Day of
Respect on January 20, the birthday of a 21-year-old Cape
Verdian-Italian man beaten to death by a gang of bullies near
Rome in 2020, Willy Monteiro Duarte.
