As a woman, walking alone at night can be scary and stressful. However, there is an app that uses crowdsourcing to help women feel more comfortable in their environment.
How to Make a Woman Feel Safe with You! [Case Study]
SafeUp uses crowdsourcing from its users to connect a woman with another woman who lives in the area they’re walking through, so they can feel safe and cared for as they navigate the streets alone. The company’s CEO and co-founder, Neta Schreiber, said the goal of the app is to encourage women to help each other and feel like they’re making a difference.
“It’s more than just a safety app,” Schreiber told Lifewire in a video call. “It’s a statement that I want to be a part of change, and I want to help other women and make my community safer.”
Like many women, Schreiber has experienced feeling unsafe and vulnerable. She and her group of friends banded together to make sure they all felt safe in new or questionable situations.
