INCLUSIVITY
Research shows that a significant number of minority groups, including women and the LGBTQ community, perceive bullying as a form of exclusion. For instance, 68% of individuals belonging to the LGBTQ community believe that exclusion is a form of bullying. Additionally, 57% of Hispanic respondents see exclusion as a form of bullying, compared to 53% of Caucasian respondents and 50% of black respondents who share the same perspective.
These findings highlight the importance of diverse storytelling in addressing such issues. When marginalized communities witness their experiences and identities represented in narratives, it promotes inclusivity, empathy, and understanding among wider audiences. Diverse storytelling allows individuals from different backgrounds to connect with characters and experiences that resonate with their own, fostering empathy and deepening appreciation for the challenges faced by marginalized groups.
By incorporating diverse voices and narratives, Immigrantly strives to combat exclusionary attitudes, raise awareness about the harmful impacts of bullying, and contribute to a more inclusive and empathetic society.
