英国上千娱乐场所设“求助暗号”保护女性，现实却令人寒心…（讲解版）｜E1121

▍原文

Pubs and clubs that have signed up for a scheme designed to protect customers are not implementing it, a BBC undercover investigation found.

The Ask for Angela initiative, a project in place at thousands of venues nationwide, aims to provide a discreet lifeline for people who believe they are in danger, through the code word "Angela."

But researchers found that in more than half of the London venues, staff failed to respond to the code word.
