To "ask for Angela" is to use a discreet safety code in places like bars or clubs to signal that you feel unsafe, vulnerable, or uncomfortable and need help. When someone asks for Angela, the staff trained in this campaign recognize the phrase as a call for assistance and respond discreetly to protect the person, such as by escorting them to a safe place, calling a taxi, or removing the threatening individual. This initiative was started in England in 2016 and is named in memory of Angela Crompton, a victim of domestic abuse. It is designed to be a simple, non-obvious way for anyone, regardless of gender, to ask for help without explaining their situation openly.
