Hello Steemit!
Perhaps some of you are already aware of this #AskforAngela concept (though I believe it came from the UK but is now reaching other parts of the world), however I feel it's most definitely worth sharing with you all, wherever you are as safety is important.
The poster can be seen in pub/club male and female toilets:
I first heard of this through Facebook, someone had shared it and has proved to be quite successful. If you are walking home late for whatever reason, out in a bar meeting a potential partner/on a date and it doesn't go particulary well or you just feel uncomfortable then Ask for Angela is there to help, we just need to spread the word...
What is Ask for Angela?
Ask for Angela is a phrase used when you feel out of your comfort zone/not safe. Some bar tenders/dj's are aware of this protocol and will know you are in need of help, just ask for Angela! e.g. 'Is Angela working tonight?' 'May I speak with Angela?'
Here is a video I found that explains the idea:
Let's stay safe and spread the word! Lots of love 💋
Interesting. I'm not much of a person to go out but my roommate is so I'll have to alert him to this and see if the places his frequents have this. It is a great safety thing, and I'm glad it's starting to spread!
Same here, too put off to go out lol, but yes I think it's a great initiative! Hopefully it's used in the right way. Thanks for stopping by :)
I love this idea! So often we are in an uncomfortable situation and we don't know how to get out of it. This is a great way to do it! I just wonder what will happen if it will be spread out everywhere.. then it's not going to be so discreet anymore :)
I thought so too. Yes agree with what you say, hopefully it's a step in the right direction at least! :) thanks for stopping by!
Didn't realize the rising ratio and cases of assault during dates. A great way to protect the women and asking for help is easier. But I guess asking for Angela should be in a discreet way. When the term becomes popular, even your date would know that you are asking for help maybe causing a commotion. Anyway still a good way to ask for help.
Yes quite shocking! Discretion is most definitely key here, hopefully it works out for the best. Thanks for stopping by!
I thought the same. What to do if your date knows about Angela too? :)

I had no idea about #askforangela. This is such a great & simple way to reach out for help and to spread awareness for others that may also need this info. Thank you so much. Upped & Resteemed <333 :)
