Your friend passes out on the couch at a party.
Do you leave her there?
WHY DRAW THE LINE
WHEN TO DRAW THE LINE
HOW TO DRAW THE LINE
When we leave a friend passed out she may be left vulnerable to being sexually assaulted. Every choice we make and every action we take – no matter how small – has the power to make a difference.
Consent matters. Only yes means yes. You can't consent if you're drunk.
There's always more than one option for a bystander. Take a stand safely and do something that you feel comfortable with. You could:
- Check in with your friend. "Are you ok?"
- Make up an excuse to get her out of the situation. "Hey, we have to leave now."
- Tell a sober person. "I think my friend is in trouble."
