Ask for Angela is the name of a campaign in England that started in 2016 that is used by bars and other venues to keep people safe from sexual assault by using a codeword to identify when they are in danger or are in an uncomfortable situation. When an establishment uses this program, 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. Posters are placed on the stall doors inside toilets of the establishments where the campaign is being implemented. The poster introduces "Angela" and asks several questions for one to reflect on the current position they are in. The Lincolnshire Rape Crisis hotline number is also listed on the bottom of the poster. The program is not gender specific and aims to help all people, so posters are placed in all toilets in the establishment. Posters are placed on the stall doors inside toilets of the establishments where the campaign is being implemented. Not all bars and restaurants in Lincolnshire and around the world participate in the campaign, so staff cannot be expected to know the protocol when someone asks for Angela at these places. Staff at the bars and pubs that do participate have been trained and will know what to do. The program started in Lincolnshire, England, by Hayley Child, the Substance Misuse Strategy Coordinator for Lincolnshire County Council. Child started the campaign as a part of a much larger campaign, #NoMore, to decrease sexual violence and abuse
