When was No Label Founded?
No Label was officially registered in August 2015, as an NGO in the Lebanese Ministry of Interior & Municipalities under the registration number 1771. However, No Label has been in the social scene since 2014.
Where did the name "No Label" come from?
When someone is bullied, whether physically, verbally, psychologically or online; they are associated with a certain Label, that is mostly negative.
Since our mission is to create bully free zones, anywhere and to fight bullying; we are passionate about making the world Label free, one label at a time.
Is there a lot of bullying in Lebanon?
Bullying is everywhere. It is not about a country or a culture, it stems within individuals themselves. While Lebanon does have a lot of bullying, the topic is highly understated and not properly handled.
Lebanon lacks statistics and data about Bullying, which No Label aims to change very soon through research.
What is the main reason that causes bullying?
There is no main and direct reason that results in bullying. Check No Label’s resources page for detailed info on Bullying.
Is bullying limited to a certain age?
While bullying by definition corresponds to young individuals, under the age of 18; bullying as an action that can happen at any age. By definition, Bullying changes into harassment after the age of 18. This is why certain resources might refer to workplace bullying as workplace harassment.
Is there a specific age group that No Label targets?
Bullying is not about the individual getting bullied nor the individual who is bullying someone else, it is rather a relationship between many stakeholders, that No Label targets in its programs. No Label’s services target students, parents, teachers, schools and employees.
