The Special Rapporteur proposes to define the right to be safe in education as the right of learners, educators and non-teaching staff to be protected from any violation of their physical, sexual or psychoemotional integrity, as well as from practices that might harm or endanger healthy relationshis within and outside the educational environment and the free expression of identities, in all educational spaces and processes, including digital ones. Safety entails every person being able to enjoy and exercise their human rights in all aspects of education, without discrimination, fear or reprisal
