Ask for Angela

Common card · No. 394355

Ask for Angela is a campaign in England that started in 2016 and used by bars and other venues to keep people safe from sexual harassment and assault by using a safeword to identify when they are in danger or are in an uncomfortable situation. When an establishment uses this programme, a person who believes themselves to be in danger can ask for Angela, a fictitious member of the staff. The staff will then help the person get home discreetly and safely by either escorting them to a different room, calling them a taxi and escorting them to it, or by asking the other party member to leave the establishment.
