A Note from Mariam

“Bullying isn’t just a phase; it’s a harmful behavior with lasting consequences.

Don’t ever feel like you deserve what’s happening to you, because you don’t.

You are loved.

Be strong. Be true to yourself.”

Mariam EidFounder & President, Rise Above Bullying
Who We Are

Rise Above Bullying is a Lebanese non-profit working to prevent and address bullying in all its forms.

Whether it happens in a classroom, a university, a workplace, a home, on the street, or online.

We believe safety, dignity, and respect are not privileges, but rights, for everyone, at every age.

Courage. Kindness. Change.

Shifty is more than a character, Shifty is a feeling. A reminder that even when the world feels heavy, kindness is a choice.

Representing everyone who has ever felt small or silenced, and everyone who chose to stand up and show empathy instead.
