Lady Gaga starts new anti-bullying charity

Lady Gaga is setting up a new anti-bullying charity with her mum, Cynthia Germanotta.

The Born This Way Foundation (which takes its moniker from Lady Gaga’s second album of the same name) will help young people overcome "issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development".

“Together we hope to establish a standard of bravery and kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment,” said the singer in an official statement.
