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.
Stand by Her
Tackling Sexual Harassment
Designed by women, delivered by men - to men.
Stand by Her has been 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 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.
