Bystanders represent individuals surrounding a progression of inappropriate behaviors, harassment, or violence and often have a powerful impact on sexual violence.
Bystander intervention is a term derived from the actions taken by individuals to prevent or stop Sexual Assault.

Sexual Assault Prevention Training
Other Reasons We May Not Help
Recognize
Oftentimes, bystanders do not interpret an event as a
problem situation
Drugs & Alcohol
The two main reasons they do not are:
Situational Ambiguity - individuals are unsure of the inappropriateness of a sexual comment or action made by a perpetrator. Individuals may not perceive a situation the same way as others.
Conformity – bystanders assume nothing is wrong because one looks concerned or they simply conform to a group’s rules in order to be accepted.

Intervention Options
Recognize
Many times, bystanders feel stuck in situations where they have the ability to intervene. If the potential impact that a Sexual Assault can have on a survivor and the survivor’s friends, family, and co-workers is understood, we will see someone crossing the line as a problem requiring action. There are preventative actions that should be taken by bystanders to intercept Sexual Assault:
Drugs & Alcohol
Things you can do as a bystander:
Observe the situation and collect enough information to determine if you need to intervene.
Talk to the person; tell them you are willing to help.
Get the person away from the situation – interrupt, distract, or remove them.
Involve other bystanders.
Talk to a professional for follow-up advice.
Follow up with both the victim and the perpetrator – give them resources.
