Darum lackieren sich Männer jetzt einen Fingernagel

Die australische Non-Profit-Organisation Ygap rief das Projekt ins Leben. Elliot Costello, der CEO des Unternehmens, traf während eines Aufenthalts in Kambodscha ein ehemaliges Waisenkind, dessen Geschichte ihn bewegte. Costello und Thea, so der Name des Mädchens, verbrachten im Rahmen eines Charity-Projekts einige Zeit miteinander, fanden sofort einen Draht zueinander und die kleine Thea bemalte Costellos Nägel bunt.

Nach dem Treffen erfuhr der Manager, dass Thea mehrmals vergewaltigt wurde, als sie in einem Waisenhaus lebte.

Daraufhin startete er die Hashtag-Kampagne, um Spenden für Opfer von Kindesmissbrauch zu sammeln.

New day and a new colour. Let’s all get together and stop violence against children. I nominate @reidy__ @m_jenks @drchrisbrown @brunsofanarchy @themadhueys to paint a nail and become a #polishedman @ygap

I am Polished Man😎 #polishedman Are you a Polished Man? „What began as a meeting between a man and a little girl has turned into an awareness campaign that involves one nail, polish and a whole lot of men. The movement is called Polished Man and it encourages men to paint one of their fingernails for a week to represent the 1 in 5 children who will be the victims of sexual violence in their lifetime.“ Join at https://polishedman.com #love #sacredgeometry #roozkashani #polishedman #nonviolence #bearealman #standup #stop #sexualabuse #enlightenment #oneness #consciousness #spiritual #givelove #iloveu #iloveme #wearelove #weareone

#polishedman The movement is called Polished Man and it encourages men to paint one of their fingernails for a week to represent the 1 in 5 children who will be the victims of sexual violence in their lifetime. Stand for something or fall for anything. #EBO
