Response to the European Commission’s Action Plan Against Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying doesn’t just happen on a screen.
It hurts. It isolates. It leaves scars that can last a lifetime.

At Victim Support Europe, we believe every victim deserves to be heard, supported, and protected. That’s why we’re calling on the EU to make sure the new Action Plan against Cyberbullying truly puts people first.

What victims need:
-Support that’s free, accessible, and trauma-informed
-Easy ways to report and get help, especially for children and young people
-Strong protections and real accountability for online platforms
-A Europe where no one feels alone after being bullied online

Victims are not voiceless. They’re too often unheard.
It’s time to listen — and act.
