  • Know Your Rights on Bullying Survey

  • The Junior Sikh Coalition is conducting a survey to document bullying experienced by Sikhs between the ages of 6-22 in the United States. We will use the results to bolster our efforts to understand, report and combat bullying.

    Your responses will help us to identify the root causes and effects of bullying in our community, and help improve our Know Your Rights on Bullying Campaign. We also encourage you to complete the survey so that our families can better understand how pervasive bullying is. With your help, we can rightly pressure government agencies and school administrations to create effective change that will better protect us as students.

    Your answers will remain confidential.

    Please note that this survey is for informational purposes only. If you have questions about anti-bullying laws, your legal rights, and/or require free and confidential legal assistance, please contact the Sikh Coalition's Legal Program directly at legal@sikhcoalition.org or by telephone at 212-655-3095, ext. 85. 

    If you ever need any help or support with bullying, do not hesitate to contact us. We can be reached by email at JSC@sikhcoalition.org or on Facebook. You can also call 212-655-3095, ext. 88. 

    Thank you for your help! We hope to strengthen our ability to make sure we as young Sikhs feel safe in our schools and proud of our identities.
