Meeting with the Team of Iyzil Women’s Safety App
The Jugnu Project met with the team of Iyzil Women’s Safety App to understand the key features of their application. They showcased their Mobile App in detail, along with its various features such as the 24/7 Alarm Monitoring System and the inbuilt Emergency Services Contact System, that can automatically connect a person to the requisite emergency services during times of need. Additionally, they also spoke of the high number of domestic violence cases that inadvertently reached them as a tech company dedicated to the safety of women and girls; and how they used their app to get emergency services dispatched onto the scenes of the incident(s).
The Jugnu Project highlighted some concerns regarding possible tech-facilitated abuse via the app, regarding which the team at Iyzil assured them that they are researching possible avenues of further improvement: including hiding the application and adding further features of the safety of women and girls using the app.
