10 Best Mobile Apps For Women Safety In India
# 1 Hollaback
“Hollaback! You have the power to end street harassment”, is the tag line of this particular app. Here the users can take a photo of the harasser and upload it as ‘caught in the act’ and submit their story on ihollaback.org. It signals the perpetrator that his photo is shared on the website as well as warns others from doing this act. The app encourages users to submit stories along with photographs of street harassment at every level from catcalls to strangers groping hands or even individuals exposing themselves in public roads. It is a free version which is available in both iPhone and Android phones. Apart from apps and website, Hollaback is part of an international movement with locally based Hollaback organizations in major cities and metropolitan areas across 18 countries. It tries to create a crowd- sourced initiative to end street harassment and break the silence to bring attention to the women safety issues.
