Programs that Promote Bystander Intervention

“Programs attempting to encourage active bystander behaviors would ideally seek to effect change in: individual attitudes and beliefs condoning violence against women; perceptions of the broader social norms condoning violence against women; perception of an individual’s capacity to act to prevent violence against women; and intention to behave or act in various ways in response to violence against women, and/or others’ expressions of violence-supportive attitudes and behaviors.”

Campaigns & Programs
The Intervention Initiative
“The Intervention Initiative is a free resource for universities and further education settings in England, developed in 2014 by the University of the West of England on receipt of a grant from Public Health England. It is an evidence-based educational programme for the prevention of sexual coercion and domestic abuse in university settings, through empowering students to act as prosocial citizens. The Intervention Initiative is a programme of eight facilitated sessions, each lasting for 60 minutes (minimum) to 90 minutes. The content of each of the sessions is provided in the form of facilitator notes, Powerpoint slides and handouts. There is an accompanying resource setting out the theoretical rationale for the programme across all eight sessions.” The program is being formally evaluated in 2014-2015, and users are asked to complete evaluation questionnaires before, immediately after, and 3-12 months after implementation. Available resources are extensive and are free for anyone to use, reproduce, or modify, as long as credit is given to UWE and Public Health England. Some materials are specific to England and would have to be modified if used outside of England.

Step Up! Sexual Assault Bystander Intervention

Know Your Power
Campaign: As a bystander you can make a difference. Everyone in the community has a role to play in ending relationship and sexual violence. The site includes a checklist for bystander action. PreventConnect also blogged about this campaign and related research.

An additional component to Banyard and colleagues’ Bringing in the Bystander in-person program is a social-marketing campaign Know Your Power: Step In, Speak Up. The bystander-oriented social marketing campaign explicitly modelled prosocial bystander behavior through a series of four posters that illustrated typical university situations. One poster shows a young man forcing a young woman up against the desk in her dorm room as she exclaims that he is hurting her. Outside the room, two fellow student residents discuss how to intervene. Another poster features students listening to and caring for friends who have experienced sexual violence. All four posteds feature the campaign taglin “Know your power. Step in, Speak up. You can make a difference.” and provide specific advise about what to do in a situation similar to the one shown. For example, the first poster above offers the following advice: “Intimate partner abuse is everyone’s problem. Intervene when you see it or hear it” and shows the students agreeing to report the incident to an authority.
A post-test evaluation of the campaign showed that participants who reported seeing the posters exhibited greater awareness of the violence against women and greater willingness to participate in actions aimed at reducing violence compared to those students who reported not seeing the posters. The campaign invites university students to think about violence against women on campus and to consider actions to prevent it, representing an important step in reducing sexual violence on campuses where prevailing norms and culture too often facilitate rather than discourage sexual violence. **

“Green Dot” campaign
The Green Dot campaign is based on the idea that peer influence in a great predictor of behavior. In instances of harmful or violent words, actions, or behaviors, each person has a choice to ignore or buy-in (a red dot) or intervene to address it (a green dot).

For more information on Green Dot, check out a CALCASA interview with Dr. Dorothy Edwards and Dr. Jennifer Sayre where the founders of the Green Dot model, speak about the core tenants of the primary prevention initiative.

Hollaback!: I’ve got your back!
I’ve got your back! Is the bystander intervention campaign by Hollaback!, an international organization to end street harassment. Teaming up with and using the Green Dot approach, this campaign also emphasizes use of digital and social media to help confront harassing and violent public behaviors. Also see the PreventConnect interview: I’ve Got Your Back: Bystander Intervention for Street Harassment.

Virginia’s Red Flag Campaign
The Red Flag Campaign uses a bystander infused approach to increase public awareness of dating violence and promote the prevention of dating violence on college campuses.

University of New Hampshire Bringing in the Bystander Campaign
Using a bystander intervention approach combined with a research component, this program assumes that everyone has a role to play in prevention. The research component measures how effective the program is within different communities.

“Developed by Banyard and colleagues at the University of New Hampshire, Bringing in the Bystander draws on a community of responsibility model to teach bystanders how to intervene safely and effectively in cases where sexual violence may be occurring or where there may be risk. The key message of the program is that ‘Everyone in the community has a role to play in ending sexual violence.’
Bringing in the Bystander draws together the founding work on bystander-focused prevention by Jackson Katz (Mentors in Violence Prevention program), Alan Berkowitz (The Rape Prevention Program for Men) and John Foubert (One in Four and The Men’s Program). The program includes both women and men as potential bystanders or witnesses to risky behaviors related to sexual violence around them.
The program is based on a multi-session curriculum conducted in groups with a team of one male and one female peer facilitator. Using an active learning environment, participants learn about the role of prosocial bystanders in communities and information about sexual violence, as well as learning and practicing appropriate and safe bystander skills. Bringing in the Bystander has been evaluated on the campus of the University of New Hampshire, and while evaluation is ongoing, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of this program in terms of increasing student participants’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about effective bystander responses to sexual violence (see Banyard et al. 2005).
Bringing in the Bystander has a social marketing component: Know Your Power: Step In, Speak Up**

Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP)
The MVP Program motivates men and women to work together in preventing men’s violence against women. The MVP bystander approach uses proactive, preventative behavior, and leadership rather than blame for the problems of gendered violence.

Under the leadership of anti-violence educator Jackson Katz and located at Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society, the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program is a peer education/leadership training program that motivates student-athletes and student leaders to play a central role in preventing violence against women. the MVP program views student-athletes and student leaders not as potential perpetrator or victims, but as empowered bystanders who can interrupt and challenge sexist and abusive attitudes and behaviors among peers. The program includes a multi-sessio (six or seven two-hour sessions) curriculum in which participants: explore different forms of abuse, explore the socialization of gender roles in media and society, learn to recognize tacit acceptance of violence against women, and practice skills in how to confront sexist behavior and attitudes. The program also includes an additional train-the trainer component for those participants who are interested in becoming further involved as peer educators. Ongoing program evaluation demonstrated promising results in relation to changes in participant’s knowledge and behaviors (Ward 2001). **

Circle of 6
The Circle of 6 App won the White House Apps Against Abuse Challenge in 2011. Using a pre-programmed list of 6 close contacts and an icon system to call for help, assistance, or advice, this app offers a discreet way of reaching out for bystander assistance.

Where Do You Stand? Campaign Guide: Men Can Stop Rape, 2011
This guide describes “Where Do You Stand?,” a comprehensive bystander intervention campaign for college men. The guide teaches how to use the campaign to positively change the cultural dynamics of a campus.
