I’ve seen lots of low key schemes and initiatives whereby customers may discreetly ask a member of staff or a bartender for help if they feel unsafe, or need assistance calling emergency services.
But did you know that there’s also an initiative where people who are on their period can get free sanitary towels in their local Morrisons?
The ‘package for Sandy’ initiative was launched last year, following other schemes such as Ask for Ani, which allows shoppers to use the code word at Boots pharmacys if they are seeking help from domestic violence, and Ask for Angela, which is used in clubs, pubs and bars for drinkers feeling unsafe on a date.
