Stand by Her

Tackling Sexual Harassment

Mobilising bystanders. Tackling sexual harassment.

Stand by Her empowers people by developing their knowledge, skills and confidence in tackling sexual harassment. It is a unique approach that uses a bystander intervention model in tackling misogyny happening in public spaces and at work. It builds on our Stand by Me programme, which tackles hate crime using bystander interventions.
Learn about Stand by Me
Stand by Her is currently being piloted in partnership with Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid Ltd (NWAL) in Bassetlaw, North Nottinghamshire as women in rural settings often have less access to support services than women in the cities. This disparity suggests that misogyny is more likely to be unreported and unaddressed.

How it works

We teach men and women what misogyny hate crime is and how to intervene when witnessing sexual harassment and equip them with our resources. This information gets cascaded to others through our leaflets, ensuring a broader impact.

Safe actions you can take to tackle sexual harassment. 

SEE
1. Watch, be a witness. Don’t turn away as it gives the message to the offender that their behaviour is normal and acceptable.

2. Observe and pay attention to what is happening, the description of the offender, where you are, what time it is,  so that you have the best information when you report it.
REPORT
 1. Inform security, staff or other people that might be able to help. You can also ask other people nearby for help to intervene.

2. Once you are in a safe space, you can then report the incident as a witness directly to the Police. In case of an emergency, always call 999.
