Sexual and relationship violence are two major public health issues that affect an alarming number of undergraduate students. As a result, many colleges and universities have protocols to serve victims of these forms of violence. Despite federal legislation stating that all students should have equitable experiences, current protocols and programs focus primarily on heterosexual students. College student victims of sexual and relationship violence who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender can face particular challenges, including disclosure of their sexual and gender orientations, and revictimization when seeking services. In recent years an increasing number of campuses have adopted bystander prevention strategies to address sexual and relationship violence. These strategies seek to engage community members in the prevention of sexual and relationship violence by training them to identify and safely intervene in situations where sexual or relationship violence is about to occur, is occurring, or has occurred. In this article we review published bystander prevention strategies that focus on preventing sexual and relationship violence in the campus community, and discuss how bystander strategies are addressing or can address relationship and sexual violence in the LGBT community.
性暴力和亲密关系暴力是两个严重影响众多本科生的公共健康问题。因此，许多学院和大学都制定了针对这些形式暴力的受害者的协议。尽管联邦立法规定所有学生都应该有平等的体验，但目前的协议和计划主要集中在异性恋学生身上。在寻求服务时，将自己识别为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋或跨性别者的性暴力和亲密关系暴力的大学生受害者可能会面临特殊的挑战，包括披露自己的性取向和性别认同，以及再次受害。近年来，越来越多的校园采用了旁观者预防策略来解决性暴力和亲密关系暴力问题。这些策略旨在通过培训社区成员识别和安全干预即将发生、正在发生或已经发生的性暴力或亲密关系暴力的情况，使他们参与到性暴力和亲密关系暴力的预防中来。在本文中，我们回顾了专注于预防校园社区中性暴力和亲密关系暴力的已发表的旁观者预防策略，并讨论了旁观者策略如何解决或可以解决 LGBT 社区中的关系和性暴力问题。
