Victor Alejandro Smoly, author of “School Terrorism” and executive director of the Global Organization for the Prevention of Bullying, participates in the International Book Fair in the Republic of Panama. During the event, Smoly expressed his pride in representing his home province, Misiones. “A warm greeting to the province of Misiones, all the people of Misiones and Posadas. I am very proud to be the only missionary presenting a literary work,” said Smoly.
In his book, Smoly addresses bullying from a unique perspective. “School Terrorism” explores how bullying can have devastating effects on victims, not only emotionally but also in their social and psychological development. Smoly explains that, although the term may sound strong, it is necessary to understand the seriousness of the problem. “Bullying is not just another problem to be solved; it is a new type of terrorism that affects young people and adults alike,” the author emphasizes.
In addition to his work as an author, Smoly is dedicated to the protection and safety of children and schools around the world. As a global ambassador against bullying, he organizes international conferences, courses, and seminars on the prevention of bullying, suicide, and child abuse. “My mission is to educate and prevent, providing communities with tools to deal with bullying effectively,” he explained.
La Organización Global de Prevención Ante el Bullying, bajo la dirección de Smoly, se centra en ofrecer apoyo y estrategias para combatir el acoso escolar a nivel global. “Nuestra meta es hacer del entorno educativo un lugar seguro para todos los estudiantes,” afirmó el director.
Con su participación en la Feria Internacional del Libro, Smoly busca ampliar la discusión sobre el bullying y fomentar la acción concreta para erradicarlo. Su libro y su trabajo continuo reflejan un compromiso profundo con la protección de los más jóvenes frente a esta forma de violencia.
El libro se basa en la experiencia personal de Smoly y su análisis profundo del impacto del bullying. “Muchos suicidios que ocurren a temprana edad están asociados a problemas de bullying o acoso escolar,” afirma Smoly en su libro, destacando la urgencia de abordar el tema con seriedad. Su enfoque busca concienciar a padres, autoridades escolares y gobiernos para que tomen medidas efectivas contra el acoso.
