A new campaign has people drawing black dots on their hands if they’re victims of abuse.
The movement encourages people to put the dots on their hands if they need help but aren’t able to speak out.
“This is a campaign to help the most vulnerable victims of domestic violence,” according to the campaign’s Facebook page.
“They simply draw a black dot on their hands and agencies, family, friends, community centers, doctors, hospitals can recognize this person needs help but can not ask for it.”
The dot isn’t the perfect solution, but many have lauded the initiative to bring something new to the table that could help save lives.
Danielle Tredgett, a former victim of domestic abuse, is one of them.
