Angel shots: The discreet code helping patrons escape dangerous situations.
What begins as a night out with friends can, in an instant, become a frightening fight for safety.
For countless people, particularly women, bars and clubs are places where unwanted attention can quickly escalate into fear. But a discreet code phrase known as an "Angel Shot" is quietly giving patrons a lifeline, allowing them to alert staff that they are in danger without drawing attention to themselves.
As concerns about harassment, drink spiking and gender-based violence (GBV) continue to grow, this simple request could be the difference between escaping safely and becoming another victim.
Recognising that anyone can find themselves in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation, restaurant chain Fat Cactus has introduced the "Angel Shot" initiative across its venues, offering patrons a discreet way to ask for help.
