About This Lesson
BAEcode was created to disrupt the familiar “Bro Code” — the idea that we only look out for our own friends or social group. Instead, BAEcode envisions a culture where we all hold each other accountable for kindness, step up when we see harm, and intervene to keep one another safe.
We launched this campaign during Sexual Assault Awareness Month in 2018 to give teens the tools and confidence to practice bystander intervention. By teaching and empowering young people to step in, we aim to prevent sexual harassment and assault within their own peer groups — and shift the culture toward care and accountability.
