The presence of sexual violence is a departure from gender equal societies. Women all over
the world are not able to enjoy the sense of safety to the same extent as men. The
reduction of sexual violence has been included in SDG 5-“Gender Equality” where one target reads “Proportion of women and girls aged 15
years and older subjected to sexual violence by persons other than an intimate partner in the
previous 12 months, by age and place of
occurrence”. The aim of our project is to create a strong foundation for the reduction of
sexual violence worldwide.
ACHIEVE SECURITY IN UNITY
SECUNITY
Many cases of sexual violence occur in
restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
14.0% of all women aged 15-24 have been the victims of sexual
violence. Same number among women aged 25- 44 was
5.5%
4/10 women aged 16-44 stated that they had a moderate or a great fear of
becoming the victim of sexual violence.
A Tool for Women
With Secunity, women have easy access to overview information regarding sexual violence at different venues - and can influence the situation by sharing their own experiences. As women share experiences and exchange information - they have the tool to control their situation when going out for dinner, having a beer at bar or dancing all night at a club.
A Tool for Companies
Through Secunity, women provide companies with feedback on their level of safety & companies gain insight on how their venue is
perceived. The app translates
women’s experiences into objective and valuable information for
companies. This provides companies with an indicator of whether and
what preventive actions should be taken
A TWO DIMENSIONAL TOOL
A fight to end sexual violence in unity. In the #metoo campaign, victims summoned the courage to tell the world about their experiences in an attempt to make it stop. Now, Secunity will contribute
to a a society where men, women & corporations fight for the security of women- in unity.
