Bystander intervention has shown promise in preventing sexual violence in certain social contexts. Despite emerging evidence of pervasive sexual violence at music festivals, no research has considered bystander intervention in this setting. Drawing on an online survey conducted with 371 Australian festival attendees, we explore the role of gender on bystander intervention at music festivals. Findings point to significant gender differences, with women more willing and likely to intervene in a broader range of scenarios. We argue that responses to sexual violence are a collective responsibility shared by both women and men, as well as festival organizers and industry bodies.
旁观者干预在某些社会环境中预防性暴力显示出了一定的前景。尽管音乐节上普遍存在性暴力的证据不断涌现，但没有研究考虑过这种情况下的旁观者干预。本研究基于对 371 名澳大利亚音乐节参与者的在线调查，探讨了性别在音乐节旁观者干预中的作用。研究结果表明存在显著的性别差异，女性更愿意并且更有可能在更广泛的场景中进行干预。我们认为，对性暴力的反应是一个共同的责任，不仅应由女性和男性承担，还应由音乐节组织者和行业机构承担。
