She fought hard to remain in the class when a teacher and classmate sought to drive her away. But it was child protection club members founded by a World Vision-trained teacher, that ultimately ensured that the bullying stopped. Summary: In July 2018, an argument at Kakabagyo Primary School between 12-year-old Sherinah Naluwugge and her classmate, Florin, led to a nightmare of abuse and bullying toward Sherinah by both her classmate and her teacher.

The World Report on Violence Against Children considers bullying to be a pattern behavior and not an isolated event. Three crucial elements of bullying are repetition, harm, and unequal power. It can include a wide range of threats such as name calling, false accusations, threats, and intimidation. Florin launched attack against Sherinah saying that her parents had abandoned her because she was a bad child. The teacher bad-mouthed her in front of the classroom calling Sherinah a lost cause. In 2014, World Vision trained teachers like Esther Naluae about child protection issues. Esther decided to start a child protect club at her school—calling it the Peace Road and Vision Club. This club empowers children to make changes when they see abuses like what Sherinah was going through. The club choose
