Let's Learn Something Today! Ever found yourself in a situation where you expected someone else to step in and help, but nobody did? Welcome to the world of the Bystander Effect! A BRIEF HISTORY: - The Bystander Effect gained attention following the tragic murder of Kitty Genovese in 1964. Despite her cries for help, no one intervened or called the police. - Psychologists Bibb Latané and John Darley conducted experiments in the aftermath, revealing that the presence of others often inhibits individuals from offering assistance in emergencies. In everyday life, the Bystander Effect manifests in various scenarios, from witnessing accidents on the street to observing instances of bullying or harassment. Understanding this effect sheds light on the importance of taking action and not relying solely on others in times of need. By breaking the bystander mentality, we can create a culture of compassion and proactive intervention. Here's how to combat the Bystander Effect: - Be Aware: Recognize the tendency to assume someone else will help and take responsibility for helping when necessary. - Trust Your Instincts: If something feels wrong or someone is in distress, don't hesitate to intervene or seek assistance. - Lead by Example: Demonstrate empathy and proactive behaviour to inspire others to do the same. Your actions can create a ripple effect of positive change in your community. By understanding the Bystander Effect, you can foster a society where individuals feel empowered to step up and make a difference when it matters most.

Humor can be an art of advocacy - a tool to amplify others, make them shine brighter, and hey, even make them feel like a rock star. Take the case of a post-game interview, where the player is already basking in the glory of a great game. A sprinkle of humor, a dash of light-hearted teasing, and voila, you've got what we call a "positive prank". Humor, when used right, can be a powerful tool of unity and positivity. #PositivePrank #HumorPersonas

With child sexual abuse on the rise, please introduce your child to this #nspcc child friendly video!

The following is information from RapeCrisis.org Sexual violence is any kind of sexual activity or act (including online) that was unwanted or involved one or more of the following: pressure manipulation bullying intimidation threats deception force In other words, any kind of sexual activity or act that took place without consent. There are lots of different types of sexual violence, including child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault. No-one ever deserves or asks for sexual violence to happen – not even a little bit. 100% of the blame lies with the perpetrator or perpetrators. However, many of the myths surrounding sexual violence can make victims and survivors feel as though they are somehow to blame. Or that what happened to them wasn’t ‘real’ sexual violence. Some important things to remember about sexual violence are: It does not have to leave a person with visible injuries. It does not have to involve other physical violence or weapons. If the victim or survivor didn’t scream, try to run away or fight then that doesn’t mean it wasn’t sexual violence. It’s really common for people who experience sexual violence to find themselves unable to move or speak. Sexual violence can be perpetrated by a stranger but it is very often perpetrated by someone that the person knows or even trusts. For example, a friend, colleague, family member, partner or ex-partner. Orgasming or experiencing feelings of arousal during sexual violence doesn’t mean it wasn’t sexual violence. A victim or survivor of sexual violence was never 'asking for it'. It doesn't matter what they were wearing or what consensual sexual activity or other interaction happened before the sexual violence. https://lnkd.in/gbGUGEYH

Engaging in victim-blaming by directing commentary toward the behavior of the victim instead of the perpetrator perpetuates a culture that undermines and reinforces harmful norms. It plays a massive role in rape culture. It's pivotal to acknowledge that victims bear no responsibility for the adversities they face, irrespective of the situation. It is never a survivors fault. Accountability rests with the perpetrator. This week, we're dedicated to sharing educational insights that delineate the myths from the facts.
