Ethical Bystander Initiative Launches for Rugby World Cup

An ethical bystander initiative seeking to encourage people to intervene in sexual assaults has been launched by a collaborative group of Wellington agencies prior to the Rugby World Cup. 

The Wellington police, Wellington Sexual Abuse Network, Tū Pakari Ora - the Sexual Assault Assessment and Treatment Service  and Regional Public Health have banded together for the Who are You? initiative, which aims to raise public awareness of how sexual assaults can be prevented.

The campaign has a short video which is available via their website here.
