About Anti-Bullying Squad (ABS)
The Anti-Bullying Squad (ABS) began when Anoushka Jolly, at just nine years old, witnessed bullying and chose to act instead of staying silent. Her vision was clear — to break the culture of silence, raise awareness, and create safe spaces in schools where every child feels valued.
Starting with awareness sessions and counseling, ABS soon grew into a digital platform empowering students, parents, and educators to stand against bullying. By engaging youth as ambassadors, encouraging peer-to-peer learning, and introducing tools like the Kavach app, ABS mobilized thousands of young people to become active change-makers in their schools and communities.
