Someone with a Black Dot on the Palm, Call the Police Immediately! (See Why)


See a person that has a black dot on the palm? You should call the police immediately, because it means that the person is in trouble.

The “Black Dot Campaign” started on Facebook and it helps to recognize the victims of domestic abuse.

“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,” stated the organizers behind this campaign.

In just 24 hours, the campaign has reached over 6,000 people worldwide, and has already helped 6 persons. This is a story from one of the first women which was rescued thanks the “Black Dot Campaign.”

“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.”
For many victims, this campaign is enabling to speak out for the very first time.

I knew this must be some kind of women thing. The fact is that men are worst victims of domestic abuse but nobody gives shii about us.

Last year, I watched as two ladies were physically abusing a man on a lonely street. The man could have easily subdued them even with all their weapons but didn't for obvious reasons. Even after I yelled at them, they didn't stop until I adopted a different measure.

I'm not saying there aren't men bullies though but most domestic violence are initiated by women and when reverse becomes the result, they cry foul.undecided
