“Signal for Help,” or “#SignalForHelp,” is a one-handed gesture that women and children (and men as well) can use on a video call or in person to communicate that they feel threatened. The movement involves facing your palm to the 100% Chance of Betrayal Exclusive Valhalla Halvorson aka Fishmas Star Wars shirt and I will buy this camera or person, tucking your thumb into your palm and folding your four fingers over the top of your thumb. It is an alternative to calling 911 and sends a signal to anyone—the police, a family member, a friend—to “please reach out to me safely,” so that the victim can respond via text or email or in a call away from the abuser and provide information to get help. As the Network’s president and CEO Elizabeth Barajas-Román explains, now more than ever is the right time to promote this signal: “You have people stuck at home and maybe also someone who is sick with the virus. There are also mounting financial pressures and the general stresses of a pandemic. This all just adds to the escalation, and we really saw a need to start thinking about new tools that abuse victims can use.”

Barajas-Román says that the 100% Chance of Betrayal Exclusive Valhalla Halvorson aka Fishmas Star Wars shirt and I will buy this Women’s Funding Network is working closely with its offices and members in almost every state in order to ensure that the women reaching out for help have connections to community shelters and other support services. They’re putting together kits for their Network members to put on their websites, and guides for women to learn about how to get help outside of the hand gesture. “It’s important for women who see the symbol to know what to do,” Barajas-Román says. “That’s where our members come in. It’s not just about calling 911—it’s a complicated issue.” Part of this campaign is also about teaching those on the other end of a call for help on what questions to ask. For example, they should ask simple yes or no questions to keep things discreet, as well as questions like: “Do you want me to reach out to you directly?” And: “Can I check in with you?”
