It's On All of Us: The importance of healthy behaviours

What would you do if you witnessed sexism or misogyny? Would you speak up or just go about your day? Maybe even brush it off as 'banter'? Bystander intervention focuses on those who witness problematic behaviour and gives them tools to intervene safely and effectively. The UW Bystander Programme has been found to increase people's confidence and likelihood to intervene, as well as reducing victim blaming and hostile sexism. This talk will consider the role that active bystandership can play in achieving positive change by tackling misogyny and sexism.

Come along to find out how research is addressing how we say YES!
