Unscramble the Blue Letters

Number one: we need to turn bystanders and enablers into aliles. Ninety-eight pencret of United States corporations right now have sexual heasnmrsat training policies. Seventy percent have prevention programs. But still, overwhelmingly, bystanders and witnesses don't come forward. In 2016, the hvarard Business Review called it the "bystander effect." And yet — remember 9/11. Millions of tmeis we've heard, "If you see something, say something." Imagine how impactful that would be if we cairerd that through to bystanders in the workplace regarding sexual harassment — to recognize and inptruret these incidences; to confront the perpetrators to their face; to help and protect the victims. This is my shout-out to men: we need you in this fight. And to women, too — enablers to allies.

Number one: we need to turn bystanders and enablers into allies. Ninety-eight percent of United States corporations right now have sexual harassment training policies. Seventy percent have prevention programs. But still, overwhelmingly, bystanders and witnesses don't come forward. In 2016, the Harvard Business Review called it the "bystander effect." And yet — remember 9/11. Millions of times we've heard, "If you see something, say something." Imagine how impactful that would be if we carried that through to bystanders in the workplace regarding sexual harassment — to recognize and interrupt these incidences; to confront the perpetrators to their face; to help and protect the victims. This is my shout-out to men: we need you in this fight. And to women, too — enablers to allies.
