Do you know what this is?
I just learned about it this morning from my daughter, when she saw a man with one nail painted blue.
[/b]A Painted Promise to End Violence.[b]
It is a global campaign and movement that raises awareness and funds to help end violence against children.
It was started by the Australian-based charity YGAP (Y Generation Against Poverty). The founder was inspired after meeting a young girl in Cambodia who had been through severe trauma.
Men and supporters of all genders are encouraged to paint one fingernail - just one to represent the 1 in 5 children who experience physical or sexual violence before the age of 18. The single painted nail becomes a symbol and conversation starter.
Do you know of this?
Will you do this?

I've heard about this type of men. They not only paint their nails, but wear female dresses as well. I don't understand what they want to say. It's absurd.

I honestly don't think many men will do this.

I have seen the blue nail polished but never knew what it represented.
