Bystander Intervention Platform Creating Safer Spaces at
xSoteria® is founded on the principle that we should all feel comfortable and safe in educational and social settings.
Every person has the inherent right to live in a safe space.
Join the xSoteria® initiative to help increase safety and to do the right thing for those around you.
We can create a safer world together. Here's how...
We are in a position to act.
@ High Schools
Kids are present during 9 out of every 10 incidents of bullying, but intervene ... less than 20% of the time.
@ Universities
"Among the bystanders [who witnessed a sexually violent act], ... 53.8% indicated that they did nothing."
@ Corporations
29% of adults have, while at an office holiday party, experienced or observed sexual advances between people who work together."
So, why do people fail to take action?
"Fear of privacy, retaliation, embarrassment, and lack of competence explain why bystanders hesitate to act."
