Transport for London (TfL) is launching courses aimed at training Londoners to act as 'active bystanders' against harassment in public transport settings. These online sessions, developed in response to public demand, will start in March and April. With a surge in reported sexual offenses seen as a positive sign of increased awareness, an emphasis on safe intervention techniques will empower passengers to defuse incidents of harassment, including cat-calling and inappropriate touching. The initiative supports TfL's existing policies and highlighting their commitment to a harassment-free transport experience.
"TfL said Londoners had told them they wanted to intervene safely when they see harassment, which can include cat-calling, cyber-flashing and inappropriate touching."
"Everyone should be able to use public transport without fear of abuse and TfL has a zero-tolerance approach to hate crime."
