Learn about the power of bystanders: How speaking up can prevent abuse
|
|
CONTENT WARNING: This article discusses sexual assault and sexual harassment.
When someone is hurt or in distress, it is a common response to call for help. But what if you see your friend make an inappropriate comment about one of your classmates – will you speak up and challenge their behaviour? Or will you stay silent and let it slip?
This is the topic explored in 'The Bystander Moment', a documentary about the role of bystanders in preventing gender-based violence. Hear from Jackson Katz – co-founder of Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) – about how we all have a role to play in challenging abuse, supporting victims and survivors, and helping prevent the abuse from happening, by simply having the courage to stand up and speak up when we see sexist attitudes and behaviours.

the documentary for free on Kanopy and be part of the change.

The Nyina Ba Kalawa/Yarning Circle celebrates the culture and tradition of the Boandik Peoples, who are the traditional custodians of Mount Gambier and its surrounding areas. It highlights the importance of the yacca (grasstree) in creating, maintaining and moving fire.
We are proud to officially launch the Yarning Circle and would like to invite all Mount Gambier students to join in the celebration with some toasted marshmallows over the fire!

If you want to have a say in improving your learning experience at UniSA, get in touch with your Academic Student Representative (ASR)!
The ASR program empowers students to directly contribute to shaping the future of your academic programs. Acting as the voice of their fellow students in their respective programs, ASRs represent your views and opinions, and communicate them to your Program Directors. The program provides a vital channel for student feedback and ensures that the University is constantly improving in response to student needs.
Whether you simply want to share feedback on your program or wish to suggest ideas for improvements or new initiatives, find your program’s ASRs and reach out to them. |
