The Bystanders’ Project was a pioneer prevention programme in all the countries participating in the Project (Portugal, Malta, Reino Unido e Eslovénia), due to its approach to preventing sexual harassment in schools through Bystanders. Within it, the Speak Up/Speak Out programme “was considered innovative in relation to preventative work in schools, where there has thus far been little discussion or action” (Dhaliwal & Kelly, 2019: 4). In this article, the results of the implementation of this Programme in high schools in the 4 participating countries are presented pointing out the need to further intervention in schools to prevent sexual harassment.
