We all have a responsibility to do something when we see street harassment happening, but too often we freeze. We don’t know what to do. Bystander intervention gives us tools to intervene without compromising our own safety. When we intervene, we don’t just reduce trauma for the person being street harassed. We also start to chip away at the culture that allows harassment to be so prevalent. Alone we can’t shift the culture — but together — our actions matter. In this training by Right to Be ______, brought to Hingham by the Hingham Human Rights Commission, the goal is to give participants the tools to intervene the next time they witness harassment in public spaces. They will equip you with the right information on how to be an effective bystander in the midst of public space harassment using our proven 5Ds methodology, our five strategies for intervention. Then we will practice so participants leave the training feeling more prepared to successfully and safely intervene. Register here.
