Singer, actor, and social media star Shahar Taboch posted a new video on Thursday evening that offers an improvised safety tool for women walking alone on dark streets late at night. Taboch, known for his colorful energy and strong connection to tradition, used the clip to address a situation many women find threatening and uncomfortable.
The video is based on the Fake FaceTime trend, a staged video call designed to make it appear that the viewer is speaking with someone in real time. In the clip, Taboch acts as if he is on an active call, looking into the camera and asking questions such as, “Where are you?” and “Your boyfriend is here with me,” then pausing for silence.
Those pauses are meant to let any woman in an uneasy situation play the video, hold the phone to her ear or put it on speaker, and answer aloud. The effect is to signal to people nearby that someone is on the line, knows her exact location, and is effectively accompanying her.
The idea drew many positive reactions online, with users praising both the concept and the original initiative. The article says the only thing left is to save the video on your smartphone.
