Upstander

An upstander is someone who actively intervenes or speaks out when witnessing unfair, harmful, or unjust situations, rather than ignoring or avoiding them. Unlike bystanders who might remain passive, upstanders take action to support those in need or challenge negative behavior. This can include offering help, expressing disagreement, or standing up for someone being treated unfairly. Being an upstander involves courage and awareness, contributing to a more respectful and safe community by promoting positive change and accountability.
