KnowB4UGO - Global Sexual Assault Prevention App

A microproject by Pathways to Safety International
KnowB4UGO - Global Sexual Assault Prevention App

Summary

According to the US Department of State, 65 million Americans travel overseas annually. We are creating a global sexual assault prevention app that will provide Americans with 120 data points on sexual assault legal, medical, cultural and law enforcement information in countries they want to visit before they go. The KnowB4UGO app will be a critical travel companion for American study abroad students, business travelers and vacationers.

Challenge

We want to focus on prevention of sexual assault of Americans traveling overseas. With this project, we will be able to hire a young mobile application developer for our KnowB4UGO Global Sexual Assault Prevention app. With 65 million Americans traveling overseas every year, hundreds if not thousands are attacked every year. Help us keep American travelers safe overseas.

Solution

Millions of Americans will be able to access he KnowB4UGO app in the hopes sexual assaults overseas can be prevented.

Long-Term Impact

According to RAINN, 208 thousand rapes occur in the USA annually. If we apply the same population proportion to the 65 million Americans that travel overseas every year, there would be 39,000 Americans raped in foreign countries annually. From the sexual assault victims that have contacted us in various foreign countries, they are extremely grateful for our help and assistance when no one else would or could provide the services we provide to them.
