For the campaign #askforangela to be a government backed national roll out
A simple code-word campaign for people feeling unsafe on a date. It encourages people to discreetly ask for help by going to the bar and ' Ask for Angela' - a phrase aimed at alerting bar staff to the cry for help so they can help defuse the situation discretely and without fuss.
A woman has successfully used the ‘Ask for Angela’ safety scheme to remove herself from a difficult situation during a night out.
A number of pubs across the country offer the scheme, which aims to reduce sexual violence and vulnerability by providing men and women with a subtle phrase they can use to get out of uncomfortable or potentially dangerous circumstances.
One pub in Gloucester successfully helped a female patron to do just that.
