AWARENESS
Hi, this is Royaljna again! Yong purpose ko po sa pagsulat ng book na ito ay hindi lang for entertainment sa mga readers, sinulat ko po ito for awareness tungkol sa hand gesture na Tuck Thumb, Trap Thumb. Gusto ko pong makiisa sa awareness tungkol sa domestic violence na nakararanas ang iilan at hindi makapagsumbong. If ever you were experiencing abuse, you can use this sa crowd, you can film yourself and post it while doing the hand gesture. Lalo na sa panahon ngayon na delikado na kahit mag-isa sa daan, pwede niyong gamitin ito dahil hindi lang po ito for domestic violence. Tuck Thumb, Trap Thumb was the signal for help.
Sa mga nais malaman ang ilang detalye, pakibasa na lang po sa baba. Muli, maging alisto po tayo at ipaglaban po natin ang ating kaligtasan. Mag-ingat po tayong lahat!
The Signal for Help (or the Violence at Home Signal for Help) is a single-handed gesture that can be used over a video call or in person by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help.
The signal is performed by holding one hand up with the thumb tucked into the palm, then folding the four other fingers down, symbolically trapping the thumb by the rest of the fingers.[3] It was designed intentionally as a single continuous hand movement, rather than a sign held in one position, so it could be made easily visible.
The campaign intends the signal to mean "reach out to me safely", and advises that if someone sees a person using the signal on a video call, they should contact the signaler by another means (such as a text message or email) to ask them what they need. The campaign recommends that contacting emergency services should only be done if signaler explicitly requests this.[9][10] Asking yes-no questions will reduce risk and make it easier for them to respond.[11]
