Sexual violence happens in every community and affects people of all genders and ages. Sexual violence is any type of unwanted sexual contact. This includes words and actions of a sexual nature against a person鈥檚 will and without their consent. A person may use force, threats, manipulation, or coercion to commit sexual violence. Forms of sexual violence include:
  • Rape or sexual assault
  • Sexual harassment
  • Sexual abuse
  • Unwanted sexual contact/touching
  • Sexual exploitation and trafficking
  • Exposing one鈥檚 genitals or naked body to others without consent
  • Nonconsensual image sharing
  • Words and actions of a sexual nature against a person鈥檚 will and without their consent
  • Sexual violence represents a range of behaviors聽

What is consent?鈥�
Consent must be freely given and informed, and a person can change their mind at any time.聽 Consent is more than a yes or no. It is a dialogue about desires, needs, and level of comfort with different sexual interactions.

Bystander Intervention鈥�
Interrupting a harmful, hateful, predatory, or inappropriate scenario by directly intervening, de-escalating, disrupting, or distracting. An effective bystander sees something and says something, does something, or enlists the help of others to intervene.

What does bystander intervention look like?鈥�
Being a bystander can take many shapes. It can be as direct as a request to stop or as subtle as making eye contact. Small gestures can go a long way in showing support for someone in a potentially difficult or uncomfortable scenario that may escalate and get worse.聽
Sometimes, it can feel like we only have two choices: acting in the moment or doing nothing. But if an interaction seems harmful in retrospect, or you froze and didn't know how to intervene in the moment, you can try a delayed response. This could mean checking in with the person harmed or offering feedback to the person who did the harassing behavior.
It鈥檚 vital that bystanders are guided by their own personal boundaries when intervening and are attentive to the safety of themselves, the person being targeted, and others nearby.聽
