If you notice someone with a black dot on the palm, call the police immediately!

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 people. This is a story from one of the first women who was rescued thanks to 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 them to speak out for the very first time.
