The Way Out

SafeWall is a systematic process of creating a way out of dangerous situations. Do you have a way out?

I'm stuck... I need help

Have you ever met someone in imminent danger? In case you're not sure, you have, most likely on a regular basis. We find people who need help frequently, but unfortunately we often don't find or help the ones most endangered. That's because they're in plain sight, hiding from powers so much bigger than themselves.

When we find these situations that are beyond our scope of resources and help, we become the ones in need of aid. We no longer have the tools to be able to help, and personal guilt soon follows.

Some have tools, such as connections in law enforcement or government authorities within law abiding countries that may be able to help, but occasionally, even these resources aren't helpful or willing to intervene.

So what are we left with? Abandoning the victim? No, we look to provide a way out, empowering the endangered individual with hope. That's where SafeWall comes in.

SafeWall Protection

SafeWall is a process of thinking. Protection from entrapment and danger starts with evaluating the way out. If the way out is for yourself, consider how well you're prepared for various entrapment situations that could threaten your safety. What are your options? Where can you go if the danger is physical? Scale the level of danger from localized danger (possibly corrupt law enforcement or deranged partner) all the way up to national danger (large corporate entrapment). For helping others, use the same system and apply how your resources or intervention can help provide a way out.

Helping Others

Recognize distress

Point to a way out

false distress - dangerous victims

On a regular basis, individuals appear distressed and in need of help in the form of financial support, emotional comfort, and personal proximity and relationships. Unfortunately, these three support requests are often desired by both individuals in false distress, acting as if they need more help but unwilling to change, and true victims, who are in imminent, life threatening danger.
Please be very careful in evaluating who you're helping before reaching out. Don't ever feel pressured to provide aid if you're unsure of your safety or of their legitimacy. Your safety is priority, and if you're unsafe while helping, then you will only aggravate and harm everyone involved. Do not feel guilty to step away from a situation. If you're in a dangerous situation and need the resources of someone who provides SafeWall services, make sure you can vocalize or write down the key dangers that are harming you or that threaten your life.
