If you ever
see a person that has a black dot on the palm, you should call the police
immediately. The black dot means that the person is in trouble.
“Black Dot
Campaign” started on Facebook and it’s a campaign to recognize the victims of
domestic abuse. That simple black dot on their hand signifies a call for help.
By putting a
black dot on their palms, victims of domestic violence can show that they’re in
danger. So if you ever notice a person with a black dot on his/her palm, help
this person and call the police.
“The black
dot on the hand lets professionals know you’re a really vulnerable domestic
violence survivor, and that you need help but can’t ask because your abuser is
watching your every move. In just 24 hours, the campaign has reached over 6,000
people worldwide, and has already helped 6 women. Please spread the campaign,
and post a picture of your hand with the black dot, to show your support to all
survivors of domestic violence,” stated the organizers behind this campaign.
Story From
Survivor of Domestic Violence:
“I’m heavily
pregnant and the baby’s father is very abusive. With words, his hands. I’ve
been petrified for so long and even more with the baby coming soon. I was at
the hospital yesterday, he was with me, he never leaves my side anymore. I had
to have an examination so the consultant asked me to lie on the bed and drew
the curtain. I leant over and took the pen out of his pocket, pulled his hand
over to me and wrote HELP ME. I didn’t have to say a word. “This campaign gave
me the strength and the idea how to ask for help. I am now safe somewhere else
thanks to that consultant and the black dot campaign. Thank you, 1 week to go
until my due date and I am finally safe.”
