I've Got Your Back

Bystander intervention is simply overcoming that 'freeze' instinct and getting back to the very human desire to take care of one another. It's not about being the hero, strapping on spandex, and saving the day. And it certainly isn't about sacrificing your own safety. From the nonprofit organisation Hollaback!, this book teaches readers the ins and outs of bystander intervention using Hollaback!'s methodology: the 5D's of bystander intervention-distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct. Each chapter of the book dives deeply into what these D's can look like in practice, whether you are in public, online, or at work.
