Do not be afraid to speak out and help just because no one else is doing anything.
Do what you can to bring the individual as far away as possible from the perpetrator.
Here are some ways you can help by pretending to know the individual:
“Hey , I’m pretty hungry. Want to go grab a bite together?”
“I’ve been looking for you all night! Can I steal you away? I have something important to tell you. “
“Hello! I’m lost and I need your help. Could you bring me to the nearest washroom?”
“Hi! I found your student pass and handed it over to campus security. Would you like me to accompany you to retrieve it now?”
If you would like to be more direct, you can approach the victim and say:
“Is this person bothering you?”
“I saw what happened. Would you like to leave now?”
“Would you like me to stay with you?”
“Who came here with you? Are your friends around?”
Or if you are comfortable with it, approach the alleged perpetrator and say:
Stop doing that, that’s not right.
