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.

旁观者干预已显示出在某些社会背景下预防性暴力的前景。尽管新出现的证据表明音乐节中普遍存在性暴力，但没有研究考虑过旁观者在这种情况下的干预。根据对 371 名澳大利亚音乐节参与者进行的在线调查，我们探讨了性别在音乐节旁观者干预中的作用。调查结果表明存在显着的性别差异，女性更愿意也更有可能干预更广泛的情景。我们认为，应对性暴力是女性和男性以及节日组织者和行业机构共同承担的集体责任。
