Step Up Now
Supported by the Equal Opportunities Commission, #StepUpNow offers 5 ways of active bystander intervention – the “5D”, including Direct, Distract, Delegate, Delay and Document, for youth in Hong Kong to intervene in situations when they witness or experience acts of prejudice, harassment and discrimination.
Active Bystander Intervention: The “5D”
First developed by Green Dot and Right to Be, Step Up Now is a follow-up of our Equality Toolkit developed in 2021 Every Action Matters campaign. We are glad to receive support and involvement from our Resolver community behind-the-scene.
