This week we have had tons of conversations about The "Ask for Angela" campaign, it is a widely recognized initiative designed to enhance safety for individuals who feel vulnerable or threatened while at a public venue, such as a bar, club, or restaurant. This national program provides a discreet way for someone to seek assistance from staff members if they feel unsafe or find themselves in an uncomfortable situation.
By simply approaching a staff member and "asking for Angela," an individual can signal that they need help. The staff, who are trained to recognize this phrase, can then provide assistance, which may include escorting the person to a safe area, contacting a taxi or a trusted friend, or intervening to de-escalate a situation.
The goal of the campaign is to prevent harm and offer a clear, simple way for people to remove themselves from a potentially dangerous situation without drawing unwanted attention. Raising awareness about this initiative is crucial, as it provides a valuable safety net that could be vital for anyone on a night out.
Please share with your friends and get this instilled in our young people's heads.
Its okay to ask for help! 🤝
