The following video will make you think. It will make you think about how you look out for others. It will make you think about how others look out for you.
The video is part of New Zealand’s ‘Who Are You?’ campaign. The campaign is based around the idea that YOUR small actions can make a big difference to the safety of your friends, or even complete strangers, when you’re having a night out.
Watch, and ask yourself: who are you?

Do you think this is an effective campaign? Would you speak up and say something, in one of these situations?

Th one person whose behaviour really needed to change in this clip was the guy's! Until we start expecting men to treat women with respect,rather than as pieces of meat things are hardly likely to change. In this clip, it was up to everyone else to intervene on his behalf because clearly he couldn't make the simple simple decision to treat this young woman with the respect she deserved. Why could she see that she was too drunk to make an informed decision? He's an adult, he has just as much, in fact more responsibility than all those other people. It's too easy to blame others and continue to excuse young men for treating women as their play things. Nothing will change until this does!
What an awesome video. If they'd had this around when I was that age it would have helped a lot. I agree with a lot of other people in thinking that if the last 'flash back' had been the subject herself refusing a drink there would have been more value, but perhaps that needs to be the subject of another video.
What? Women aren't allowed to go out and drink with out the risk of getting raped? That's what you're suggesting! It's men who have the responsibility not to rape, not women who have the responsibility to avoid it!
