Morphology
anti-bullying + campaign
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'anti-' (against) + 'bullying' denotes opposition to bullying, combined with 'campaign' (a planned set of activities) yields an organized effort to prevent or address bullying. This construction is predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Anti-bullying campaign paints a clear picture: anti means 'against', bullying is the hurtful behaviour, and a campaign is people working together, so imagine teachers and students putting up posters and standing between a bully and a victim to 'stop' bullying. So, the phrase means an organized effort to prevent and deal with bullying.
