So, this month, we are sharing tangible and practical strategies on how to address situations and occurrences where we want to “stand up” but simply don’t know how. Hollaback!, a global, people-powered movement committed to ending harassment, has developed a strategy that can be used to advocate for someone who is being harassed.
With the “5 D’s of Bystander Intervention,” you can learn the step-by-step way to advocate for someone using a bold (yet safe) approach.
Hollaback!’s 5D’s are Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay and Direct.
Hollaback! also offers additional resources, programs and training that you might find to be of benefit on a personal basis or on a corporate basis. Additional information can be found HERE.
