An active bystander is a person who takes action to prevent sexual harm, playing a key role in preventing dangerous, problematic, or disrespectful behaviour. UniSA is committed to creating a safe and respectful University community and encourages students to safely intervene before a situation escalates, or challenge problematic attitudes. Watch the videos below to explore ways in which you can be an active bystander at UniSA.
