Intervening safely requires calm, respectful action. Use bystander strategies: acknowledge the person affected, clearly interrupt the behavior, and document what happened. Decide whether to address privately or with a supervisor, aiming to de-escalate without shaming anyone. Avoid blame or retaliation, and preserve the dignity of all involved while signaling that harassment will not be tolerated.
