When you come across a man with one painted fingernail, take a moment to pay attention. This small act holds a powerful message as he is part of the global #PolishedMan campaign. This unique initiative aims to raise awareness and funds to combat violence against women and children. Joining the campaign is easier than you may think – you can make a difference by painting your own nail and sharing it on social media using the hashtag #PolishedMan. Every contribution matters.

Celebrities like Chris Hemsworth, Michael Klim, and Zac Efron have gotten on board, proudly displaying their painted nails in support of this important cause. In their words, it’s all about “nailing it to end it.”

By showing your support through painting a single nail and sharing it with the hashtag, you can help spread awareness and make a real impact on ending violence against women and children. Let’s ensure that everyone is aware of this powerful message: it’s time to put an end to violence. Take part in the movement by painting one nail and using the hashtag #PolishedMan on social media. Together, we can make a difference.

According to the YGAP website, a polished man is someone who stands with women and children and actively contributes to ending violence worldwide.

The Polished Man campaign, launched in December 2014, has been running successfully for eight consecutive years. Over this period, the campaign has raised an impressive $7.6 million to support trauma prevention and recovery programs in Australia and around the world. This movement has received overwhelming support, with over 100,000 people from more than 100 countries standing behind it.

Join the cause today – paint a nail, start a conversation, and raise funds to help put an end to violence against women and children. By doing so, you can be proud of your contribution in promoting a safer and more equitable world.
