Will the harassment ever end?

Harassment does not have to be an endless cycle. With the right actions and support, it can and should come to an end. It's important to continue to report any incidents and to utilize the resources available to you, whether that's HR, legal advice, or external support services. Remember, you have rights and there are laws designed to protect you. You're not alone in this, and there are people who will stand by you and help ensure that the harassment stops.

What is bystander intervention?

Bystander Intervention plays a pivotal role in addressing and halting sexual harassment within the workplace. It refers to the actions that individuals who are not directly involved in the harassment can take to support the victim and stop inappropriate behavior. Bystanders are often coworkers or peers who witness harassment but may feel uncertain about how to respond.

The training program encourages bystanders to:

• Recognize the signs of harassment, even when they are subtle.
• Take responsibility by understanding that everyone has a role in preventing harassment.
• Respond appropriately by using techniques such as distraction, direct intervention, or seeking help.
• Report the incident to the appropriate authorities.

Empower bystanders to act. This will shift workplace culture to one where harassment is actively opposed and not just passively observed.
