BYSTANDER INTERVENTION<br />
Research centering on prevention efforts of sexual violence have shown that bystanders are an intricate part<br />
of prevention. Often outnumbering both the perpetrators and the victims, everyone plays a role in stopping<br />
sexual violence before it happens. Be an active bystander, someone who is committed to making a choice to<br />
become involved and stop sexual violence. Before acting though, understand that active bystander intervention<br />
does not encourage or mean to put one’s self in danger. Safe options for being an active bystander include:<br />
• Watch out for behaviors that appear<br />
inappropriate, forcible, or harassing to<br />
possible victims.<br />
• Making up an excuse that allows<br />
potential victims to get out of potentially<br />
dangerous situations.<br />
• Speaking with him/her and check to confirm<br />
he/she is safe and okay.<br />
• Never leaving the side of him/her, despite the<br />
efforts of someone to get him/her alone or<br />
away from others.<br />
• Stepping in to stop an individual’s overuse<br />
of alcohol.<br />
• Reporting any suspicious activity to Campus<br />
Safety or law enforcement.<br />
