Our Upstander workshop equips our Pasifika youth and communities with the skills to take a stand against violence. An upstander is someone who notices a potentially harmful or dangerous situation and does something to make things right. They know what’s happening is wrong and have the courage to step up. To stop violence from happening in our communities, we must stand together against violence. Violence is NOT our culture.
