Men Paint Their Fingernails To Fight Violence Against Women

Men from all over the world are joining together to paint one of their fingernails for one of the most touching reasons you could ever hope to see.

The "Polished Man" project began when Elliot Costello rain into a young girl in Cambodia named Thea. She seemed shaken from abuse from her orphanage, and over the course of that night, Elliot did everything to calm her down and to let her know that everything was going to get better.

To help calm her, Elliot let her draw on his hand and even paint his nails with one of the new popular styles. The next day, he learned of the horrific abuse that the 8-year-old girl had suffered, and Elliot realized he had to do something.

He came up with the idea to have all his male friends paint one of their fingernails in order to represent the one in five children who suffer abuse before they even reach the age of 18.

Helping to raise awareness and funds for the victims of abuse, while showing to their communities that they're a "polished man" who doesn't resort to violence. This great idea is quickly going viral for all of the obvious reasons, and women are encouraged to get all the men they know to paint their fingernails so they can let the world know that they're polished, too!

Please SHARE this heartwarming story if you think all men should be polished!

One in five children are victims of abuse from the people who are supposed to be protecting them.
