What is Bystander Training and Why it Matters

With 80% of women in the UK reporting harassment in public spaces and 75% of harassment victims saying no one helped, the need for action is urgent. The Suzy Lamplugh Trust has partnered with L’Oréal Paris to deliver the Stand Up Against Street Harassment training programme across the UK.

Developed by international NGO Right To Be, this globally approved free bystander intervention training empowers individuals to safely step in and support victims of public harassment.

Suzy Lamplugh Trust marks a significant milestone this year - the 40th Anniversary of the Trust and Suzy's disappearance. This year, they are focusing on why 40 Years Should Have Been Enough to end stalking, harassment and abuse. However, the need for this work remains urgent, and lasting change requires collective effort.

You can join over 29,000 people in the UK who've already completed the training by booking an upcoming session:
