Bitcoin Helps to Fight Domestic ViolenceRecently Kris Haamer started a BitcoinCT r: 8 crowdfunding campaign to fight domestic violence in Sao Tomé. He partnered with a Sao-Toméan rapper Pekagboom to raise people’s awareness about the problem of domestic violence which stands sharply in many countries of the world. Kris told CoinTelegraphCT r: 23 that he and his team plan to start a far-reaching transmedia project that will help fight domestic violence not only in Sao Tomé, but also in other Portuguese speaking countries, as well as in other countries all over the world.
The idea of the project appeared two years ago when Kris Haamer met Pekagboom at the Sao Tome e Principe art biennale. After that they started gathering other people around the idea to create a strong team, “with members in Sao Tomé, Estonia, Portugal, Brazil and Taiwan”. This shows the problem they are to deal with is global indeed.
The team has created a musical video featuring a fictional character named Elsa Figueira and her tough story of overcoming domestic violence. This video is to demonstrate to all the abused women that there is actually a way out and that they shouldn’t suffer the violence silently.
