DETAILS

By learning how to be an active bystander through Small Steps: Bystander Action for Equality‚ you can safely and effectively challenge sexist attitudes in your personal and professional life. 

We all deserve to be treated with respect and care.  

Sexist attitudes still exist. It can look like throw away comments‚ unkind remarks or disrespectful jokes. It can happen anywhere, from family BBQs to boardrooms or sporting events.  

It can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming to do something about it, especially when the person displaying this behaviour is in a position of power, doesn't see things from your perspective, or disregards people's wellbeing. There is still a stigma around speaking up. Our instincts can kick in, and you may not know where to start.  

Learn how to stand up and take care of others in different ways. Explore simple and effective steps you can take to increase your confidence and speak up. Walk away feeling like you can take action that aligns with your values.
