Think it through before it happens.
What would you do if you saw someone at risk of getting hurt? If you have thought about it in advance, it’s easier to take action in the moment.
4
Dare to speak up
Is no one else reacting? Take action anyway. You can be the first link in a chain of people who, together, prevent an assault from happening.
2
Be considerate rather than suspicious.
Sometimes it’s easier to help the person who’s being harassed instead of focusing on the person doing something wrong.
5
Interrupt the situation
Do something that creates a distraction. Ask an unexpected question or turn the music off. If you know that a sexual assault is going on, fetch a security guard or call the police!
3
make contact with others
Look around - are other people seeing the same thing you’re seeing? Make contact with them so you can help each other take action.
6
It's never too late to help
Make contact with and support the person who’s been harassed or assaulted. Offer to act as a witness if necessary.
