As part of strengthening a healthy university environment and spreading a positive psychological and social culture among female students, the Psychological Counseling Unit at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Girls at the University of Baghdad held a guidance and awareness campaign titled “No to Bullying” (“We Differ in Our Features and Are Equal in Our Respect”), targeting the college’s female students.
The campaign included an awareness lecture that highlighted the concept of bullying in its various forms (verbal, psychological, and electronic) and its negative effects, which in the future affect the psychological health and the academic and athletic performance of female students. The campaign also featured the distribution of guidance leaflets and posters, in addition to opening an effective dialogue and discussion with the students to hear their opinions and questions on this important topic.
This campaign contributes to achieving Goal 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals, concerning Good Health and Well-being, Goal 4, concerning Quality Education, and Goal 16, concerning Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
