I watched a free webinar about how to stand up to street harassment as a bystander without it escalating to violence and it was amazing.
I recently found a link to it, and I was delighted to see they also have a training on standing up if you are being the one harassed. I haven't watched that one yet, but the one I saw was great. Here is a link if anyone is interested.

Sorry this is the actual link to the trainings.

It looks like the UK had a similar campaign earlier this year which is delightful.
I didn't click through it yet to see if it's better than this one. It appears to focus on situations where women are "trapped" such as on the tube. Situations where you can't just get up and run.

This is really good training. Great reminder that the MAN is the problem, not you. And to act only as you feel safe. Thanks for sharing!
This is an ad for L'Oreal. It's one of the corporate things where they pretend to do activism in order to be able to claim to be progressive.
Even if it weren't an ad for L'Oreal, you yell and cause a scene, say fuck off, ignore, or run away. L'Oreal does not need to be monetizing this concept by fake "educating" us as a marketing tool for shitty box hair dye.
