amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a Canadian initiative is creating face masks that signify the wearer can offer support to abuse victims.
M Me co-creator and Sophie Grace founder Emma May told CTV's Your Morning that she wanted to create the masks after "watching lots of women around the country sort of suffer through lots of indignities."May said Wednesday that she and Nina Kharey, founder of Nonie, relied on one another as business owners for support amid the uncertainty of the pandemic, but admitted not all women have had support amid COVID-19, especially in domestic abuse situations.
May said with face masks mandatory in areas across Canada, a domestic abuse victim can spot someone wearing this mask anywhere in public, such as a mall or the grocery store and know they are equipped to help. Despite being available to offer support, May does not expect M Me wearers to provide expert advice if approached by victims. Instead, every purchase of a mask comes with an insert that lists domestic violence resources for the wearer to share with women who may be in vulnerable situations.
If it's not an abusive spouse forcing you to shut your mouth, it's an abusive government.
I think this is a wonderful idea! Hey, anything that is done to help victims is a good thing. How can anyone say anything negative?
Or just dont wear a mask. Ever
