What We Stand For
Raising Awareness & Fostering Social Engagement

In our organization, we are strongly committed to making sure that situations in which people feel threatened, harassed, or unsafe are no longer belittled or downplayed. We educate both young people and staff in bars, clubs, and similar venues on how to respond appropriately in such moments. Our goal is to build an open and conscientious society where no one turns a blind eye but instead takes responsibility and stands up for others.

To achieve this, we develop practical training programs and informational materials that demonstrate how to recognize warning signs, call for help, and actively support those affected. It’s essential to us that anyone in distress has a safe point of contact and is not left alone with their fear. At the same time, we encourage everyone involved—from guests and bar staff to security personnel—to act courageously rather than simply watch.

Our vision is a community where no one has to feel uncomfortable or helpless because bystanders remain passive. Only by working together, taking responsibility, and supporting each other can we ensure that discrimination, harassment, and violence have no place in our society in the long run.

Behavior Protocol
for
Unconsciousness
in Bars, Clubs, and Comparable Settings
Target Group: Youth, Friends, Bar Staff, Bouncers/Security
  • I. Immediate Awareness of the Situation
    • Recognize the situation: Determines whether a person is unconscious (unresponsive, does not react to touch or approach).
    • Own safety: Make sure that you and bystanders are not in danger (e.g. from crowds, broken glass, aggressive people).
    • Ask for help: Make sure that at least one other person provides support (friend, colleague, security).
  • II. Approaching and Initial Assessment
    • Approaching: Address the person clearly: “Hello, can you hear me?”
    • Lightly shake or pinch: Gently try to establish contact to check for any reaction.
    • Check for breathing: Briefly hold your ear near the mouth/nose and observe the chest. Do you hear or feel any breathing?
      • If no breathing or irregular breathing is detected: Immediately initiate resuscitation measures (see Section 4).
      • If there is breathing, but the person does not respond: The person is unconscious.
  • III. Immediate Actions & Emergency Call
    • Emergency Call (112):
      • Provide your name and the exact address (bar/club/event venue).
      • Briefly describe the situation: “The person is unconscious, but is breathing / is not breathing.”
      • Follow the instructions from the emergency dispatch center.
    • Assess the cause (if possible):
      • Did the person consume alcohol or other substances?
      • Was there a fall or a fight?
      • Does the person have pre-existing conditions (e.g., epilepsy, diabetes, heart problems)?
      • Pass this information along to the emergency responders as soon as they arrive.
  • IV. Resuscitation (Only If There Is No or Irregular Breathing)
    • Chest Compressions:
      • Press down in the center of the chest about 5–6 cm deep at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute (roughly in the rhythm of “Stayin’ Alive”).
      • Allow the chest to fully rise after each compression.
    • Rescue Breaths (Optional, if trained):
      • After 30 chest compressions, give 2 rescue breaths.
      • Watch for the chest to rise and fall.
      • If you feel uncertain or uncomfortable (hygiene, etc.), focus on continuous chest compressions.
    • Automated External Defibrillator (AED):
      • If one is available in the club or bar, retrieve it immediately.
      • Turn on the device and follow its instructions.
      • Apply the electrodes to the bare chest according to the device/illustration.
    • Continue until help arrives:
      • Do not stop until professional responders take over or the person starts reacting.
  • V. Recovery Position (If the Person Is Breathing but Unconscious)
    • Check for hazards: Ensure that no vomit or blood is blocking the airways.
    • Position the person on their side:
      • Place the nearest arm bent upward (elbow at shoulder level) and the far arm in front of the chest.
      • Bend the far leg and carefully turn the person onto their side so that their face is slightly downward.
      • Tilt the head slightly backward to keep the airways clear.
    • Monitor:
      • Continue to observe if the person is breathing regularly.
      • Remain with them until emergency services arrive.
  • VI. Calming the Environment
    • Calm those around you:
      • Briefly explain that you are taking care of the person and have called for help.
      • Avoid causing panic.
    • Create space:
      • If possible, clear an area (push aside tables/chairs, ask guests to keep their distance).
    • Privacy & Dignity:
      • If necessary, cover the person and respect their privacy (e.g., no photos or videos by bystanders).
  • VII. Cooperation with Security and Bar Staff
    • Bouncers/Security:
      • Help by keeping an unobstructed access route for the rescuers and by dispersing onlookers.
      • Check if the person may have been a victim of a crime or dangerous situation (e.g., drugging with “date-rape” drugs, assault).
    • Bartenders/Staff:
      • Communicate relevant information to security and the emergency services (if known, which beverages were consumed, any mixed consumption, etc.).
      • If necessary, support with emergency call handling (address, exact location in the building).
    • Friends of the Affected Person:
      • Stay nearby to provide important details about the person (allergies, medical history, emergency contacts).
      • Help calm the person if they regain consciousness.
  • VIII. Important Follow-Up
    • Documentation:
      • Record the time, the situation, the initial measures taken, and any unusual behavior (e.g., suspicion of drug use, aggression).
    • Debrief with Emergency Services:
      • Share any relevant information (personal details, if known, alcohol/drug consumption, observed symptoms).
    • Further Procedure:
      • Decide, together with the emergency services and, if necessary, the police, whether further actions (e.g., hospital accompaniment) are required.
    • Evaluation:
      • Briefly debrief with your team regarding what went well and what could be improved next time.
      • If needed, consider professional psychological support (e.g., in cases of shock).
Summary:
  • Recognize
    • Is the person unconscious or just dazed?
  • Secure
    • Eliminate hazards and organize assistance.
  • React
    • Address the person, check for breathing, and if necessary, place an emergency call.
  • First Aid
    • Perform resuscitation or place the person in the recovery position, according to the condition.
  • Manage the Environment
    • Calm bystanders, create space, secure emergency access routes.
  • Follow Up
    • Document the incident, pass on information to emergency services, and review the procedures.
Our Goal:
This protocol is designed to ensure that everyone involved—be it friends, bar staff, or security—can act quickly and decisively to provide competent and composed assistance in emergency situations.
Behavior Protocol
for the Code
"Is Luisa here?"
in Bars, Clubs, and Comparable Settings
Target Group: Youth, Friends, Bar Staff, Bouncers/Security
  • I. Background and Meaning of the Code
    • What does “Is Luisa Here?” mean? “Luisa is here” or the question “Is Luisa Here?” is an international code used by people (mostly women, but really anyone) in bars, clubs, or other event venues when they feel uncomfortable, harassed, or threatened.
    • Purpose of the Code:
      • To send an unobtrusive signal for help to staff or bystanders.
      • Avoid escalation by not directly indicating that danger is present.
      • Organize immediate support (escort, discreet resolution, and if necessary, the initiation of further steps).
  • II. Procedure for Those Affected
    • Approach the bar or security staff:
      • Go to the bar, the cash desk, the checkroom or a bouncer.
      • Say quietly yet clearly: “Is Luisa Here?”
    • Explain briefly (if possible):
      • If the situation allows, briefly state what is happening (e.g., “Someone is following me,” “I am being harassed,” “I feel unsafe.”).
  • III. Immediate Reaction of the Staff
    • Recognize the Code:
      • Every staff member or bouncer* must know that "Is Luisa here?" is an internal call for help.
    • Remain Discreet:
      • Avoid asking loudly (“What’s wrong?”) in order not to further stress the situation or alert a potential aggressor.
    • Assume Your Role:
      • Pretend you are looking for "Luisa" or letting another employee know.
      • Take swift initiative to remove the affected person from the danger zone (e.g., bring them to an office, a side room, or a quiet corner).
  • IV. Further Procedure for the Staff
    • Shielded Conversation:
      • Speak with the person in private to clarify what has happened.
      • Example questions:
        • “Are you injured or in immediate danger?”
        “Should I call you a taxi or accompany you to a safe place?”
    • Organize Assistance:
      • Inform the friend group: if friends are present, bring the affected person to them or ask them to pick her up.
      • Involve the security team: in cases of acute danger or if escalation seems imminent, the security staff should intervene (e.g., instructing the aggressor to leave the club).
      • Call emergency services (112): if a crime has occurred or there is a heightened risk, involve the police.
    • Possible Support Measures:
      • Use the phone: offer to facilitate a safe phone call or to inform relatives if needed.
      • Escort: a staff member or security guard can accompany the person to a taxi, their car, or outside.
  • V. Recommendations for Friends or Nearby Guests
    • Observe the Situation:
      • If you notice someone asking “Is Luisa Here?”, approach them and calmly offer help (e.g., “Can I accompany you?” or “Would you like to go to your friends?”).
    • Inform the Staff:
      • If the bar staff hasn’t noticed the situation yet, alert them by saying: “Someone just asked ‘Is Luisa Here?’—she needs help.”
    • Aftercare:
      • If you know the person, stay with them until they feel safe again or have arrived home.
  • VI. Role of the Bouncer or Security
    • Immediate Identification:
      • Note when someone uses the code.
      • Keep an eye out for concerning situations (e.g., if a person is being restrained against their will or harassed).
    • Separation of the Affected Person and the Aggressor:
      • If a specific troublemaker is identified, security may discreetly speak to them and, if necessary, ask them to leave.
      • Check if further danger exists and whether the police need to be called.
    • Escort:
      • Accompany the affected person to a safe area or to the outside.
    • Collaboration:
      • Maintain contact with the bar staff: when someone “searches for Luisa,” support the team in discreetly implementing the help concept.
  • VII. Follow-Up and Documentation
    • Documentation:
      • Record the date, time, and a brief summary of the situation (what happened and which measures were taken).
      • In cases of offenses (e.g., sexual harassment, bodily harm), make notes that might later serve as a memory aid for the police.
    • Team Debriefing:
      • After the incident, hold a short briefing to discuss what went well and what could be improved next time.
    • Raising Awareness:
      • Continuously train the staff on “Is Luisa Here?” and similar distress signals (for example, the code phrase “Angel Shot”) so that they can always react appropriately.
Summary:
  • Understanding the Code
    • “Is Luisa Here?” means that someone feels threatened or uncomfortable and urgently needs help.
  • Discreet Support
    • Both staff and security respond without drawing the attention of any potential aggressor.
  • Shielded Support
    • Clarify the situation in a safe environment, organize help (cab, police, friends).
  • Teamwork
    • Friends, bar staff, and bouncers work together to provide quick and discreet assistance.
  • Documentation & Follow-Up
    • Incidents are recorded to inform the police if needed and to internally improve procedures.
Our Goal:
This protocol ensures that everyone involved - whether among friends or as part of the bar/security team — can react effectively and discreetly when the code “Is Luisa Here?” is used to defuse threatening or uncomfortable situations.
Together
Against the
Loverboy Method
Education, Prevention & a Shift in Awareness
The Loverboy method is an insidious manipulation strategy in which perpetrators deliberately gain the trust of young people to make them emotionally dependent and subsequently exploit them. Yet behind every perpetrator lies a story—often marked by their own experiences of violence, neglect, or criminal environments. Our goal is not only to protect potential victims but also to break down prejudices and foster a deeper understanding of the societal roots of this problem.
Why is Education So Important?

Many people envision loverboys as cold-blooded criminals, but the reality is more complex. Some of them have themselves fallen into dependency or violent relationships at an early age and end up reproducing these patterns. This does not excuse their actions—but it shows that as a society, we need to take a closer look to find long-term solutions. If we only combat the symptoms while ignoring the causes, the problem will persist.

Our Work Addresses Several Levels:
  • Education & Prevention in Schools

    • We inform young people about perpetrator strategies, emotional manipulation, and self-protection, so they can safeguard themselves from an early age.

  • Parent & Teacher Training

    • Adults learn to recognize warning signs, challenge their prejudices, and respond empathetically to affected young people.

  • Public Awareness & Consciousness Building

    • Our campaigns raise awareness of the complex backgrounds of the Loverboy method and stimulate thoughtful reflection.

  • Breaking Down Prejudices

    • We encourage discussions that go beyond speaking of perpetrators with hatred or fear and instead focus on uncovering the underlying causes to prevent future exploitation.

  • Social Media & Digital Prevention

    • Through videos, testimonials, and interactive content, we reach young people where they are most vulnerable—online.

Our Goal:
To empower young people, minimize risks, and create a society that not only combats symptoms but also understands the underlying issues. Only through knowledge, empathy, and collective action can we ultimately prevent perpetrators from succeeding.
