Good Bystander is a UX initiative designed to combat sexual violence by extending DCU's Bystander Intervention Programme. The app provides interactive guidance for bystanders who may witness harassment but are unsure of how to respond. Despite the prevalence of such programs, most offer only passive education, leaving a gap we aim to fill with active learning strategies.

In crafting the app, we conducted user-focused research, rapid prototyping, and usability tests involving 17 individuals. Our design approach was intentional in avoiding gender or race biases by using animated objects. While initial versions received positive feedback, they also highlighted accessibility issues, especially for the visually impaired, leading to further refinements.
