Reducing School Bullying through the Stop the School Bullying Platform (SSBF) and Youth Movement

This program report evaluates the Stop the School Bullying Platform (SSBF), an initiative by Article 33 Indonesia with funding from the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), aimed at reducing bullying in schools across Jakarta and Bandung. The program employed workshops, collective action monitoring, school roadshows, and awareness campaigns involving students and teachers. Impact evaluation results show that students' bullying comprehension scores increased from 51 to 60, while teachers' scores improved more significantly from 55 to 72. Bullying experience scores also declined, particularly among junior high school students and female students. The report highlights differences in approach between Jakarta schools (digital and social media campaigns) and Bandung schools (creative activities and direct participation).
