Masque-19

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of domestic abuse cases increased worldwide. When France imposed an extremely strict lock-down, survivors were trapped at home with their abusers for 23 hours a day, with just one hour per day available to go to a pharmacy or grocery store. French pharmacists came up with a way victims could secretly ask for help: The code word “Masque-19”. The short film “Masque-19" shows the psychological horror most survivors experience while trying to leave their abusive partner and how the code word offered a way out. Although domestic abuse is a worldwide problem, awareness campaigns and helplines are typically limited by location. Marko and his team wanted to offer support to anyone in the world who might see this film and are considering leaving an abusive partner. They created a new website thebeginning.info where the helpline number for any country in the whole world can be found in a matter of seconds. No matter where you are, you can get help.
