3. An individual who
observes an act of
violence, discrimination
or other problematic
behaviour, but are not
its direct perpetrator
4. Types of Bystanders
Whotake action and
try to stop it.
Who do not act or
intervene.
Due to:-
Social influence
Audience inhibition
Fear of retaliation
Active Passive
6. 01 DISTRACT
Its a subtle and safe way to intervene. The aim is to
interrupt and derail the incident
Pretend to be lost
Ask for time or address of a place
Pretend you know the person being harassed
Talk something irrelevant and take the attention off
the harasser
7. 02 DELAY
Delaying can reduce the severity
Ask the victim if shes okay
Offer to accompany her to her
destination or sit with her for awhile
8. 03 DELEGATE
Delegation is when you ask for assistance for a
resource or for help from a third party
If near a shop ask the shopkeeper
If on a bus ask a co-passenger bus conductor to intervene
If youre in school contact teacher for help
9. 04 DOCUMENT
First assess the situation
Is anyone helping the person being harassed ?
If not, use one of the other Ds. If someone else is already
helping out , assess your own safety
Only if you are safe then only go ahead and start recording
ALWAYS ask the person who was harassed what they
want to do with the recording
10. NEVER POST IT ONLINE
Using an image or footage of a
person being victimized
without the persons consent
may make the person feel even
more depressed and can lead
to a level of visibility that person
may not want.
Publicizing another persons
traumatic experience is no way
to to an effective bystander.
11. 05 DIRECT
Directly respond to harassment by naming what is
happening or confronting the harasser
This can be risky the harasser may redirect their abuse
towards you
It may escalate the situation
Be clear, confident, but cautious
12. Golden
Rule
Only intervene, if its safe for
you to do so.
If not safe, call the police.
Or the Child Helpline no.
