When Elliot Costello and a group of other people visited Cambodia, he had an encounter with a young girl named Thea.
Little did Elliot know that this encounter would have an impact so profound on him that it would help start a movement whose goal is to end sexual abuse against children.
Namely, Thea always had nail polish on her tiny nails. One day, as she and Elliot chatted, she asked to paint one of his nails. He agreed and was happy to speak to the chatty girl, but he then learned that she was once a victim of sexual abuse.
“As she painted one of my nails, I assured her I would always keep it that way to remember her, and by extension, her suffering,” Elliot said.
This motivated Elliot to try and make positive change among men so that less and less children fall victims of sexual abuse.
That is when he came up with the movement called #PolishedMan where men put nail polish on one of their nails. That one nail represents the one in five children who will be victims of sexual violence.
Polished Man works towards ending sexual violence against children. According to the organization, “being a Polished Man means challenging violent behavior and language, both locally and globally.”
Elliot believes that since men are responsible for 96% of this type of violence against children globally, they should be catalyst for change if we are ever to see an end to the abuse of innocent children.
The goal with the painted nail isn’t just to remind people of the number of children who are abused every single day, but to serve as a conversation starter about this reality, leading to new ideas about prevention. He also hopes that people will start donating to “support educational programs and resources for child survivors of abuse,” as per APlus.
We hope that more men, including celebrities
Full details and video here for what happened with MTG and Fani Willis
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is piIing on the woes of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, filing a criminaI conduct complaint on Thursday alleging the Georgia prosecutor abu sed her powers and taxpayer dollars by allegedly hiring and handsomely paying a subordinate with whom she was having a secret romantic relationship.
A Georgia Fox affiliate reported that Rep. Greene has filed her complaint with Republican Governor Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr, asking both to investigate whether the Democrat mixed poIitics with pleasure when she paid special prosecutor Nathan Wade approximately $700,000 to involve himself in her prose cution of former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants. DA Willis is alleging the former president, along with Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and more than a dozen others committed racketeering by attempting to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
Earlier this week, an attorney for one of Trump’s co-defendants fiIed a motion in the case to relieve DA Willis of her prosecutorial power, alleging she carried on a secret affair with Wade.
If true, Fani Willis serious lawlessness, including potential vioIation of public oath would irreparably impair her prose cution of Trump, Green wrote to Gov. Kemp and AG Carr.
