Combating Harrasment

Coming in April 2023!! We’ve seen a rise in harassment and violence in our community – so, Neighborhood Women is collaborating with Right To Be (formerly Hollaback!) to train our residents and workers through the STAND UP FOR NEIGHBORS! Campaign.

Right To Be is a thriving nonprofit that has trained about 1.5 million people globally in Bystander Intervention Training by giving them the tools to combat harassment. They often customize trainings to address specific issues for trainees. Their conflict de-escalation methods use the 5 Ds:

Distract
Delay
Direct
Delegate
Document

Right To Be has a great track record! 98.8% of attendees leave the training feeling like they can do at least one thing when they witness harassment. 76% of attendees who saw harassment after attending one of our trainings reported that they had intervened.
