Plymouth to challenge male violence with ‘active bystander’ training

In response to murder of Bobbi-Anne McLeod, men and boys will be coached in how to respond to misogynistic behaviour

Men and boys in a British city rocked by horrific crimes against women will be coached to become active bystanders", able and prepared to challenge misogynistic behaviour as part of a range of safety initiatives.

The training is to take place in schools, businesses and social settings such as sports clubs across Plymouth, with males being taught how to challenge inappropriate behaviour and language aimed at women and girls.
